I’m interested in reducing the “special snowflake” grade of HPKE. So I would like to add HPKE as a set of algorithms, instead of defining several new data structures that are necessary to use HPKE as well as to express keys for HPKE. (Besides, we save a few bytes, which may or may not be relevant for a specific application.)
