OpenSSL uses some POD directives masquerading as 'comment'
('=for comment' etc). This is abusive and confusing. Instead, we use
our own keyword.
=for openssl whatever
=begin openssl
whatever
=end openssl
(we have never used the multiline form, but might start one day)

It's all in the details, from man-pages(7):
Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions
...
Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.
...
Formatting conventions (general)
...
Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold.
Exception: don't boldface NULL.

We add new functions for getting parameters and discovering the gettable
and settable parameters. We also make EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_signature_md() a
function and implement it in terms of the new functions.
This enables applications to discover the set of parameters that are
supported for a given algorithm implementation.
