Description

AES-GCM is not adequate for some applications with stream ciphers bearing greater practicality. CTR mode also comes with parallelism potential.

Sorry, missed this. In fact some legacy modes of operation, like CTR, are already (sort of) supported. For example see core::AES_encrypt in aes.cpp

I'd be really grateful if it can be fleshed out with explicit API calls as (at least personally), I'd prefer AES_CTR_encrypt over AES_encrypt (could be GCM?).

Would make code review much more easier. I would love to contribute but the possibility of borking something is high enough to act as discouragement.
