[New-bugs-announce] [issue18775] name attribute for HMAC

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

In issue #18532 name attribute was officially documented and tested for hashing objects. PEP 247 considers HMAC as keyed hashing algorithm. Therefore I suggest that HMAC object should provide the same interface.

It's a bit unfortunate that HMAC has a blocksize attribute for the default blocksize but the API defines a block_size attribute.
