'gpg' is a filter like 'cat'.  Please don't even _think_ about asking
to have that changed.  Nobody in their right mind wants to go back to
the lame and maddening ways of various PGP versions in this respect.

Are you using ~/.gnupg/options?  There are also a myriad of other ways
to save typing, particularly for an Emacs user like you.  :-) What
about calculated or computed trust?
