Comment:
I like to see what I'm doing in the function name.
I don't like to have to scan the 13 arguments to
C_ProcessMessage() to figure out if the function
is doing an encryption.

Wan-Teh is trying to solve a particular problem,
Michael's approach is more flexible but it seems
out of character for PKCS#11 - especially the
association object.

I think you could probably turn many existing
PKCS#11 function calls into macros that call
C_ProcessMessage. Is that good or bad?
