Re: EVP_PKEY_get_int_param is not getting degree from EC key

[Dr Paul Dale]

Better might be just adding a note to the parameters unlikely to fit 
into a machine integer rather than confounding things with an additional 
type which isn't really a separate type.

"unsigned BIGNUM" instead of "unsigned integer" would be short and 
much clearer
in the description and naming of parameters unlikely to fit in a C 
int/long.
