We probably don't need to define a separate 'safe' function.

There is an opponent on any  approach. Although, small and fast error
route could be good.

As nothing but trusted/encrypted keys is using hex2bin, it shouldn't be
a problem.  :-)

The key word "until now". But people will start to use anything which
has public API, won't they?

 I'll update trusted/encrypted keys to check the return
code.

Actually another question shall we add __must_check to the prototype or not?
