I actually think this moves in a nice direction for adding support for
minisign/signify and other schemes. There's a way to look up what
algorithm is in use in a particular context based on the first line and
a general interface for deciding what format to write. Granted, it
currently still is very specific to gpg-style tools, but I think this is
an improvement in that regard.
As an OpenPGP user, I have no interest in adding support for other
tools, but I think this should make it easier if someone else wants to
do that.
