Related question, is this a good time to start requiring a C11 compiler? Would enable some improvements that affect the api or abi: 1. We could enforce 16-byte alignment for union nettle_block16. Could in theory give improved performance, in particular for SIMD assembly code that can then use instructions that require 16-byte alignment. But unclear to me if that would make any measurable difference. 2. We could change return type from int to bool (or _Bool) for functions returning a success/fail indication.
