I don't follow what you mean, sorry.  Can you provide an example?

Possibly, but I'd say that's beyond the scope of this patch and would
need to be a separate patch.  This patch is about adding salt functions
to the existing module which wraps the C library function crypt(),
which requires a salt argument but provides no helpers to generate them.
