I looked at this briefly, and was surprised that there is no support for
signing a message without encrypting it. Is that intentional? Instead of
adding a function to encrypt and sign a message, I would have expected
this to just add a new function for signing, and you could then pass it
an already-encrypted blob, or plaintext.
