public/private_encrypt/decrypt should imply use of an asymmetric encryption,
at least it does for me. So then there's no need for the _asym bit (which
was just a replacement for openssl_key_encrypt, as this wasn't saying anything
about asymmetric encryption).

No problem with that, saves me some typing (or doing a wrapper with a
shorter name) ;)
