That's the Digest / OOP APIs finish method. As all finish methods in
the OOP API must have the same return type so ubyte[] is used. The
drawback is that the data is allocated using the GC unless a buffer was
explicitly passed to finish.

The template API uses ubyte[n] and can therefore return the value using
stack space and no allocations.

I made another pass through the docs and replaced auto where possible.
I also added another simple example.
