for an API, there's nothing wrong with explicitly specifying the thing
that people should *want* to be doing as a separate interface.
GnuPG has some level of difficulty because it's trying to offer both an
API and a user interface. For this discussion, i think we're pretty
clearly talking about the API, though.

You don't get the luxury to decide on this transition yourself, i'm
afraid. Mailpile has to deal with *other* MUAs doing throw-keyids, just
like those other MUAs have to deal with it if/when Mailpile starts doing
it :/
