+Note that nonce size should be in the range of `6..=15` bytes and tag size in the range of
+`0..=16` bytes. Compilation will fail otherwise:

+```rust,compile_fail

+# use ocb3::{aead::{consts::U5, KeyInit}, Ocb3};
+# let key = [0; 16].into();
+// Invalid nonce size equal to 5 bytes
+let cipher = ocb3::Ocb3::<Aes128, U5>::new(&key);
