== Param functions ==
Pairings are initialized from _pairing parameters_, which are objects of type
`pbc_param_t`. Some applications can ignore this data type because
`pairing_init_set_str()` handles it behind the scenes: it reads a string as a
`pbc_param_t`, then initializes a pairing with these parameters.

=== Param generation ===
These were used to prepare the sample parameters in the +param+ subdirectory.
We label the pairing families with capital letters roughly in the order of
discovery, so we can refer to them easily. Type A is fastest. Type D is a good
choice when elements should be short but is slower. Type F has even shorter
elements but is slower still. The speed differences are hardware-dependent, and
also change when preprocessing is used. Type B and C are unimplemented.
The +pbc_cm_t+ data type holds CM parameters that are used to generate type D
and G curves.
