There is Leopard codec implementing very similar approach in GF(2^n). AFAIR, it's a bit slower, but overall it looks more useful than FastECC

(OTOH, since we anyway store hashes and other info, we may store there extra overflow bits required for recoding into GF(p). That said, FastECC on practice works like a slightly non-MDS code, but at least there are guarantees how much extra data we need to store)
