-- How big is the search space? The space consists of two axes.
--
-- * X-axis: Number of characters available
-- * Y-axis: Search length of preimage to find
--
-- Note that it's proportional to @(X ^ Y)@ rather than @(X * Y)@
--
-- The values below are defined by default.
--
-- When not provided as options in CUI, the following values are used.
