RFC 9180 explicitly rejects it in DHKEM for X25519, so it is very likely that X-Wing as applied to HPKE will also require rejecting it. If the CFRG concrete-hybrid-kems document instead ends up requiring accepting it, then this crate would instead need to support it being configurable (as there are downstream users like age that require rejecting already).

Depends on RustCrypto/KEMs#369.

I can make this configurable like I did in RustCrypto/KEMs#369 if you prefer for the next release.

Thank you! Ugh this will require a version bump oh well. I’d like to merge rn but I’d rather wait til it lands in upstream x_wing. Left a comment in RustCrypto/KEMs#369

Force-pushed to use updated RustCrypto/KEMs#369 API.

I will try doing the same additive change here and see how unmaintainable it is.

LGTM! I’ll wait for the x-wing PR to land first
