Even though it is 4 functions, I think users will find it easier to
work with functions called openssl_public_encrypt,
openssl_private_decrypt etc. It also separates them from possible
symmetric enryption later on.
How about returning the result like this:
string openssl_public_encrypt(
string data,
mixed key,
[int padding]
);
I think it's generally better to not alter arguments, better return it
this way. Is it good enough to report errors by returning an empty
string? I think so.
