They would help people like me who don't use this stuff very often and
can't remember which one is SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, etc. Of course, one
could expect users to fire up a web browser and search the web for
details instead. But as it stands, we don't document anywhere that
sha512 is indeed SHA-2 as far as I can tell.

No, please disregard that. I fixed it but then attached the wrong
patch to the email.
