Yes that's the idea.

Good catch. I'll fix this.

crypto_find_alg is an internal API function that should not be used
unless you're implementing a crypto_type. Ugh I see that it is being
abused already. I'll get this fixed.
As a rule internal.h should only be used by API implementors, not
algorithm implementors.
