+ *  \param input a string containing hexadecimal bytes and comments.
+ *               0-9 and upper-case A-F are input; all other characters are comments.
+ *  \param len length of \p input.
+ *  \throw security::transform::Error input has odd number of hexadecimal digits.
+ *  \throw tlv::Error input cannot be parsed into valid \c Block.
+ *
+ *  Example
+ *  \code
+ *  Block nameBlock = "0706 080141 080142"_block;
+ *  Block nackBlock = "FD032005 reason(no-route)=FD03210196"_block;
