    The problem with a change of the command-line argument syntax is

    command-line interface is worth all the trouble it will undoubtly
    cause.

Purposely, I said the next "major" release (which means we can break
things :).  It would be dreadfully sad if GnuPG's ease of use is held back
forever just because of a command-line syntax that was thought up back in
the early alphas, and is clearly (IMO) surpassed by a cvs-style syntax.

I promise I'll update GnuPG::Interface if we change syntax.  :)
