Yes, that would be good. I'll try to implement it.

This would be very error prone. Even if a running gpg-agent is
available there are certain conditions which could make using it
impossible. For example: on an text console running the standard
pin-entry program (which uses curses) from within emacs won't work.
That's why I think that using an available agent should be enabled
explicitly.

Real programmers don't want "what you see is what you get", they want
"you asked for it, you got it". They want editors that are terse,
powerful, cryptic, and unforgiving. In a word, Teco.
