I notice that by default, the library checks every password for one
user, then every password for the next, and so on. This can be
controlled through the brute.mode argument. I think that putting
passwords in the outer loop is a better default. What do people think
about this?
I'm a fan of checking the first password for every user, then the second password for every user, etc, especially when 
you might not be checking the entire password list. It should get the best results faster.
