I strongly dislike the absolute disconnect between the extremely
generic name libssh2_sftp_fsync() and the very opposite name
fsync_at_openssh.com - unless libssh2 will in the future use a heuristic
to determine which actual extension to use. I don't want that.

At a minimum, I'd like a follow up patch which changes the API name
to libssh2_sftp_fsync_openssh_com() or such..
