What are the encloak and decloak functions for?

Try them... they make your computer become invisible.
Actually... they are simple, high speed data "scramblers" (e.g. using
string-like xor methods). They were part of other builds, so we tossed them
into /Core because they do have value for users who want to hide passwords,
obscure data/code, but don't need full scale encryption methods, and don't
want to take the trouble to write something themselves.
Example usage:
key: checksum/secure ask "Enter the key phrase: "
str: read %data.txt
data: encloak compress str key
write/binary %data.bin data

I see... but they weren't in the change notes ;-)
As you know I'm a user of the SDK so I guess I don't need them.
Some more questions:
- Is the RSA functionality fixed in the next SDK?
- Any chance on async TCP and IMAP docs?
Keep up the good work.
