This is a Bad Thing to do this such a way. It is the most unintuitive
interface I can imagine. Some commands accept algo name, while some need
those cryptic codes which really aren't documented anywhere I know of. Nor
is the method of getting these. Any chance that we'll get consistient user
interface soon?
