That's probably overkill. Why not establish a convention that the "main"
API struct for the library doesn't have to be named? So it's just
PQgetSSLstruct(&ssl, "OpenSSL"), and you only need strange naming if
you're dealing with a library that actually has more than one API object
that needs to be fetched this way. (That set is likely empty...)
