Indeed.

Hmph, I didn't consider calling gpg_config unconditionally.  It may
do a bit more than what a typical config callback does (i.e. as
opposed to just store the string values it gets, it tries table
look-ups and stuff) but it is not too bad.

Naturally.

Hindsight is golden---if this were called gpg.signingkey we wouldn't
be having this discussion X-<.
