 The old hybrid_encrypt functions are necessary for implementing TAP and
 old-style hidden services, but they're also obsolete, since they produce
 malleable output.  We shouldn't encourage anybody to use them.  We should
 add a comment to this effect, and rename them to something less general-
 sounding.
