I was doing some research on the SHA256 implementation, and I discovered a mismatch between the docs and the code. I have a patch attached that fixes the docs. This is version 2, which has a slightly nicer commit message as suggested by Martin Ågren. Martin Ågren also mentioned[0] this discrepancy is added on 2020-02-22 in 3c9331a129, which added both the documentation and the implementation. As developers-only as this variable is, that commit was not in v2.26.0, so this might be worth fixing before cutting v2.27.0.
