What's the obstacle to a global variable that is initialized once and
never changes? You also only need to call:

        SSL_load_error_strings();
       OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms();

once, ... so there needs to be some once-only code in your application,
and setting a write-once global there does not seem burdensome.

It is a showstopper for many asynchronous applications, where the same process attempts to keep track of multiple contexts in parallel. The lack of a callback makes this very difficult.
