no 'look-at-keydata'-like command

[Frank Tobin]

Peter Palfrader <peter at palfrader.org> pointed this out to me.

It seems that in GnuPG, there is no way to do the following using an 
explicit command:

$ gpg --verbose --with-colons << EOF
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: N/A
...
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
EOF

I.e. analysing a key before adding it to the keyring.

In other words, there is nothing like 'gpg --decrypt' or 'gpg --verify'
that allows me to achieve same functionality that GnuPG enters into when
it encounteres keydata its 'no command' mode.

The reason this is a problem is because, IMO, it's 'dirty' to use the 'no
command' dispatcher when I want to tell GnuPG explicitly how to handle the
data.
