hrm.  g10/options.skel contains the following:

Now i'm extra confused.

Removing the force-v3-sigs line from my gpg.conf enabled me to make a v4
data signature.

but the above text seems to suggest that i need to *add* an option to
make that happen.

at any rate, shouldn't the use of contradictory options (e.g.
--sig-notation with --force-v3-sigs) raise an error or a warning to the
user?

        --dkg
