// Package tea implements the TEA algorithm, as defined in Needham and
// Wheeler's 1994 technical report, “TEA, a Tiny Encryption Algorithm”. See
// http://www.cix.co.uk/~klockstone/tea.pdf for details.
//
// TEA is a legacy cipher and its short block size makes it vulnerable to
// birthday bound attacks (see https://sweet32.info). It should only be used
// where compatibility with legacy systems, not security, is the goal.
//
// Deprecated: any new system should use AES (from crypto/aes, if necessary in
// an AEAD mode like crypto/cipher.NewGCM) or XChaCha20-Poly1305 (from
// golang.org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305).
