// CheckPassword takes the string password and an encoded digest. It decodes the Digest, then performs the
// MatchAdvanced() function on the Digest. If any process returns an error it returns false with the error, otherwise
// it returns the result of MatchAdvanced(). This is just a helper function and implementers can manually invoke this
// process themselves in situations where they may want to store the Digest to perform matches at a later date to avoid
// decoding multiple times for example.
//
// CRITICAL STABILITY NOTE: the decoders loaded via this function are not guaranteed to remain the same. It is strongly
// recommended that users implementing this library use the NewDecoder function and explicitly register each decoder
// which they wish to support.
