Can you make the Cipher interface (or the CipherFunc iface) at least expose NonceSize and Overhead from cipher.AEAD?

The nonce is always 8 bytes in Noise, I'm not sure what you're looking for?

I have two CipherStates and am making a streaming enc/dec connection, so I guess I really just need the overhead to determine some block sizes...but I suppose it is not important.
