+Built-in HACL* and OpenSSL implementations of hash function constructors
+now correctly accept the same *documented* named arguments. For instance,
+:func:`~hashlib.md5` could be previously invoked as ``md5(data=data)``
+or ``md5(string=string)`` depending on the underlying implementation
+but these calls were not compatible. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
