We are very reluctant to rename/delete functions as this will break some
applications. It is only ever done on major releases (meaning they can't
be backported to 1.0.x) and then usually for functions that are only
intended to be used internally. So really we need new functions names
keeping the existing ones: it's unfortunate that the BIO related
functions don't follow the convention of having "bio" in their name but
we're stuck with it now.

Also please use unified diff format for patches.
