--try-secret-keys is used to specify keys to be used in addition to the
default secret key when it comes to decrypt messages with anonymous
recipients.
I have often the case that I receive a messages encrypted to a bunch of
keys where many of them use an anonymous recipient (e.g. for private
backup keys). By using this option I can define which of my secret keys
are to be used for trial decryption.
