In trichelab/rehash: Lightly anonymize and deanonymize datasets for quasi-public distribution

#' anonymize (to some degree) a MultiAssayExperiment and its constituent objects

#' Warning: this function is not yet properly implemented.

#' @param   x           a MultiAssayExperiment to anonymize 
#' @param   salt        a salting phrase to slow brute-force attacks ("0x")
#' @param   strip       strip rehashed objects of any deID'ing metadata? (TRUE)
#' @param   algo        algorithm to use for the one-way hash (default is "md5")
#' @param   deorder     scramble rows and columns? (FALSE; disrupts data digest)

#' @return              a new, rehashed MultiAssayExperiment
