Very nice, but does that mean it will also be able to handle
additional .kbx files in addition to the .gpg and .asc files?

If so, will it also work with a trustdb file and, if so, is it
possible to specify a different trustdb file location when doing so?

A most useful feature too.  I found it to be of particular use when
the annual assertions[1] of compromised keys being propagated out in
the world filter through various mailing lists and IT rumour mongers.
It's the key component in preventing the reality (corrupted key data)
interfering with my real keyring(s).
