 |That can happen but not by embedding magic strings into code.  See

But isn't TLSv1.2 also a magic string?
I mean i hope we come to an end with this soon...
But doesn't a OpenSSL library installation _as such_ represent
such an immense combination of magic, regarding the internal
configuration settings..?
I wouldn't have a problem if you would add even more VULNERABLE,
also to other _CONF_ settings.  But i'm simple minded and as of
today "Protocol" is just about anything that my thing is concerned
of.  :-)
