I quite like this, but couldn't they come up with a better function name than
sodium_crypto_box_keypair_from_secretkey_and_publickey()?

I agree, this function name is so short, can be longer. :P

does it REALLY need to be that long?
I mean sodium_dh_create() would work too.

The long function name was probably chosen to increase security by obscurity (joking) :-)
