+ o Code simplifications and refactorings:
+ - Rename a handful of old identifiers, mostly related to crypto
+ structures and crypto functions. By convention, our "create an
+ object" functions are called "type_new()", our "free an object"
+ functions are called "type_free()", and our types indicate that
+ they are types only with a final "_t". But a handful of older
+ types and functions broke these rules, with function names like
+ "type_create" or "subsystem_op_type", or with type names like
+ type_env_t.
