RSA is something which most probably will be opaque along with DSA, DH and
the associated methods.

So you wont be able to access the structure directly. However I think it is
pretty certain there will be new utility functions to access the public and
private key components of RSA (and DSA, DH) structures.

The reason I say that is that you need that functionality to make ENGINE
work.
