Review Comment:
   Yeah, that's not quite right. Looking at the documentation for the 
`libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory()` function, it looks like:
   * You can pass just a private key, in which case libssh2 will extract 
(compute) the public key based on the private key contents.
   * You can pass the private key and a separate public key, in which case the 
separate public key takes precedence over extraction from the private key.
   
   If the public key data doesn't match the private key, the authentication 
will fail, so it's a way to pass those separately such that you're validating 
the private key that is passed against a specific, known public key value.
   
   So, I need to reword this - and the other instance of it - a little 
differently.
