	// In this package, the CRC polynomial is represented in reversed notation,
	// or LSB-first representation.
	//
	// LSB-first representation is a hexadecimal number with n bits, in which the
	// most significant bit represents the coefficient of x⁰ and the least significant
	// bit represents the coefficient of xⁿ⁻¹ (the coefficient for xⁿ is implicit).
	//
	// For example, CRC32-Q, as defined by the following polynomial,
	//	x³²+ x³¹+ x²⁴+ x²²+ x¹⁶+ x¹⁴+ x⁸+ x⁷+ x⁵+ x³+ x¹+ x⁰
	// has the reversed notation 0b11010101100000101000001010000001, so the value
	// that should be passed to MakeTable is 0xD5828281.
	crc32q := crc32.MakeTable(0xD5828281)

	// Output:
	// 2964d064
