This works:

gpg  --enable-special-filenames --verify - '-&5'

but these don't:
gpg  --enable-special-filenames --verify '-&0' '-&5'
gpg  --enable-special-filenames --verify '-&5' -
gpg  --enable-special-filenames --verify '-&5' '-&0'

It looks like you can only use a special fd for the second arg.  The first arg 
must be a file or '-'.  Is this a bug?
