`declare function MV_ENC_STR(str: string, encryptKey: string, decryptKey: string): string`

will encrypt the passed string constant with the provided `encryptKey`. Then `decryptKey` is evaluated at runtime to grab the key. There are no restrictions on the length or the allowed characters of the keys, only that they are the same.

## Valid Usage
```lua
local getKey = MV_VM(function()
  return "pass" .. "word123"
end)

return MV_ENC_STR("hello world", "password123", getKey())
```
