        MissingHostKeyPolicy

Known Subclasses:

Interface for defining the policy that `.SSHClient` should use when the SSH server's hostname is not in either the system host keys or the application's keys. Pre-made classes implement policies for automatically adding the key to the application's `.HostKeys` object (`.AutoAddPolicy`), and for automatically rejecting the key (`.RejectPolicy`).

This function may be used to ask the user to verify the key, for example.
