Yes, that's what I was suggesting.

I need more time to think about this, so I'd rather defer till after the
release in any case. But at some point we collectively (I think? Maybe
Jamie and I browbeat you into it) decided that it was OK for
--decrypt=true to have context dependent behaviour. It seems to me that
"different things in a different context" issue already exists.
