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)

Details from man-pages(7) that are used:
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.
...
Additionally, expanded some lists to make better use of POD formatting.
