I would have expected with this addition to see a change to call from_bytes. If you like the combinator style you could use

    pub fn from_slice(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<SharedSecret, Error> {
        <[u8; SHARED_SECRET_SIZE]>::try_from(bytes)
            .map_err(|_| Error::InvalidSharedSecret)
            .and_then(|a| Ok(Self::from_bytes(a)))
    }

If I need to change anything again I'll add this too, thanks

Strictly speaking, it'd be better to create a reference here (simply annotating the type with & should work because the conversion is defined) to avoid useless copying but there's a good chance compiler will optimize it out anyway.

Are you saying you can convert a &[u8] to a &[u8; N] via try_into and the compiler will just cast the pointers rather than copying?

Exactly.

Wow, that's a huge win and I feel like a clippy lint should exist for it. (Though it'd be a bit tough in general to tell when the array is only used by reference.)
