Okay, you're right but I think about another stdin handling then
--encrypt use. It would be very useful to use the similar style
like verify_files. Then you can put the filenames to stdin and
if there is no stdin data each given file will be encrypt.

My first mistake was the wishy-washy explation when you use
--help. This is now fixed and I believe with the new helper text
nobody asks this again.
