What is this param's correct usage:
"throw-keyids" or "throw-keyid"
?
I see conflicting docs online:
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Esoteric-Options.html &
--throw-keyids
--no-throw-keyids
Do not put the recipient key IDs into encrypted messages. This helps to hide the receivers of the message and is a limited countermeasure against traffic analysis.1 On the receiving side, it may slow down the decryption process because all available secret keys must be tried. --no-throw-keyids disables this option. This option is essentially the same as using --hidden-recipient for all recipients.

Name
throw-keyid — do not put key IDs into encrypted packets
Generally, which gpg docs are authoritative?
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals,
OR,
https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual ?
I.e., if/when they conflict, which is considered correct?
