(Go) AES and CHACHA20 Encrypt/Decrypt Text

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptSb and DecryptSb methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt the contents of StringBuilder objects.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
