Panics
expand
panics if the requested output length is larger than 255 times the
size of the digest algorithm, i.e. if
out.len() > 255 * salt.digest_algorithm().output_len
. This is the limit
imposed by the HKDF specification, and is necessary to prevent overflow of
the 8-bit iteration counter in the expansion step.
