It is not the job of the command-line interface to teach users the subtleties and nuances of OpenPGP. If users want to know the many different ways GnuPG can be used they need to read the documentation. If you think this use-case is important enough it should go in the manpage or FAQ, let's discuss that. But the command-line user interface is the wrong place to be teaching people about unusual use cases.
