+/// The following example uses the same setup as in ed25519_basic.rs, but in its main method, it
+/// creates a certificate signing request (CSR) and writes it to a file. The CSR is created from a
+/// polyproto ID CSR, which is a wrapper around a PKCS #10 CSR.
+///
+/// If you have openssl installed, you can inspect the CSR by running:
+///
+/// ```sh
+/// openssl req -in cert.csr -verify
