Yes, it would be certainly possible.  On the other hand, I now have a
few concerns on using the emacsclient protocol for the Pinentry purpose:
the output strings are encoded in 'file-name-coding-system', which can
be different from the locale encoding, and are even pretty-printed with
'pp'.

So, I wonder if it might be better to invent a dedicated protocol for
pinentry-emacs, only supporting raw UTF-8 strings and communicating
through a fixed socket.  In that case, we could eliminate the need for
the envvar.
