OK, I'll amend that.

Is there any comparable code that does that? I feel like padding a buffer should be the responsibility of the caller for a public function, otherwise the user has to be aware of the padding to avoid embedding extra payload bytes accidentally (even though it is negligible in size), it is an extra manipulation if padding is not needed, and requires including an extra file to access the padding size.
