Making providers that expose new algorithms

Dear fellow OpenSSL users,

I have been writing a provider that exposes a kem algorithm and associated keymgmt. This algorithm is unknown to OpenSSL> However it appears that while the provider is loaded the algorithm cannot be used, and this is due to a failure to find the name in inner_evp_generic_fetch

Do I need to do something to create the name of the algorithm first? The docs are not clear and it's quite odd given the algorithm had the algorithm name associated with the OSSL_dispatch that this would be needed.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd
