Does this work?

Everything is a direct wrapper for existing types and functions, so I
wouldn't expect any functional change. I haven't been able to test
this particular interface, though. cryptoloop is very deprecated,
isn't it?

Ah yes, I managed to confuse myself there. This looks all fine to me.

In any case, this is another example where we may decide to fix the
code rather than retain the request allocation on the stack (but that
is Jens's call ultimately, I suppose)
