/// key shorter than `min_key_len()` is accepted at the API level (the MAC spec
/// does not mandate rejection) but **reduces the security level significantly**.
///
/// | Algorithm | Minimum recommended key | Notes |
/// |-----------|------------------------|-------|
/// | HMAC-SHA-256 | 32 bytes (= output length) | RFC 2104: key < block-size is padded |
/// | HMAC-SHA-384 | 48 bytes | same rule |
/// | HMAC-SHA-512 | 64 bytes | same rule |
/// | HMAC-SHA3-256/512 | output length | same rule |
/// | CMAC-AES-128 | 16 bytes (exact) | AES block cipher key |
/// | CMAC-AES-256 | 32 bytes (exact) | AES block cipher key |
/// | Poly1305 | 32 bytes (exact) | one-time key; **must not be reused** |
/// | KMAC128 / KMAC256 | 16 bytes | NIST SP 800-185 recommendation |
