Right, but then someone else will ask for five different parameters as part of
a different SSH extension, and a third person will want four other parameters
elsewhere, and thus you get the explosion (and ongoing moving target of a
changing cryptlib attribute list) to handle it all.  That's why I was after a
general-purpose solution via the CRYPT_SESSINFO_SSH_x values rather than
adding new attributes for everyone that needed some.
