Note that reaching a multiple of block_size is important, because it ensures that the secret key you passed as the seed is not left in the internal buffer of the hash algorithm, visible in memory dumps.

Is hardening against memory dumps in scope for this library?

That's a pretty basic quality of implementation issue in this domain. High quality is always "in scope" for Boost libraries.

Is this documented?

No, I don't think it is.
