commit 91eb242d635f6650bcc7d8d82a5bfd142222bd5a

    doc: clarify that --encrypt refers to public key encryption
    
    --
    
    A simple read of gpg(1) is ambiguous about whether --encrypt could be
    for either symmetric or pubkey encryption.  Closer inference suggests
    that --encrypt is about pubkey encryption only.  Make that clearer on
    a first read.
