// expanding limited input keying material into one or more cryptographically
// strong secret keys.

// and an optional independent salt.

// Only use this function if you need to reuse the extracted key with multiple
// Expand invocations and different context values. Most common scenarios,
// including the generation of multiple keys, should use New instead.
