In this particular case you'd display the plaintext in the command line
as well as storing it in the history (e.g. bash) . In that sense you'd
be far better off just doing "gpg -aer 0xabcdef01" and input the data
you want followed by Ctrl+D for unix-like systems or Ctrl+Z && <CR><LF>
(enter) for windows based shells.
