How long is "long enough"? Is it sufficient to use a magic number that 
is in common use and/or non-colliding? Or would we need to use a minimum 
bit length of magic to also make hash collisions infeasible? If we used 
both a magic number and a random salt, would the security properties be 
combined, or would they interfere?
