I happen to know a somewhat famous developer who once looked through
the Crypto++ API and chose DES-XEX without (I think) realizing that
it was DES-X and not Triple-DES.
But yeah, modelling the developers who use your library -- guessing
how clueful and careful they will be -- is a black art and is
probably doomed to failure.
