+The DH parameters ``dhparam'' will be generated on the fly, ``bits'' wide. This is a slow process, and especially for larger sizes, you would precompute those; for example: ``openssl dhparam -2 -out dh-2048.pem -outform PEM 2048''. Using the field ``dhparam'' overrides the ``bits'' field.

Add or interpose a pkey class method. Returns the previous method, if any.
