suggestions: {if not already implemented }

[1] can the 16k space be increased,
as people are importing 4k pgp dh and rsa v4 keys, if they have 5 secret
keys, the 'try all secrets' shuts off

[2] can there be an option where one can choose to have gnupg inform

the user if the passphrase is entered incorrectly for that key,
{especially useful for 'secure' passphrases, entered from the commandline,
 where mistyping may be common)

[3] can there be selective anonymity, where if encrypting to multiple
recipients, to specify the key-id for the throw keyid, and leave the
others intact,
(or, if easier to implement, an option for -ignore-throw-keyid
for each key that one wants to not be anonymous 

Thanks,
with Respect,
