New submission from Daan Bakker:
The documentation for pbkdf2_hmac at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/hashlib.html uses the "rounds" keyword:
hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac(name, password, salt, rounds, dklen=None)
However, the actual source code uses "iterations". No-one has probably noticed
it before because no error is raised if the number of iterations is given as a
positional argument.
