Hi!
Thanks for the work you put into this. However, I don't think that
alias names for existing feature are a good idea. The problem is that
those aliases need to be maintained forever. They don't add a new
feature just a new name.
It is debatable whether --encrypt or --encipher is the better term. And
which covers public key crypto and which symmetric crypto (-c)? In any
case you may simply use -e and avoid talking about the names ;-)
Shalom-Salam,
Werner
