Anything on stderr/stdout is a "returned value" in the same sense that the
existing commands work.

gpg doesn't have option names with spaces, but the arguments certainly can. You
need to be careful to preserve them, and arrays in bash are the best way. RE
your other email: "${var[@]}" is perfectly good bash, similar to "$@" but it
only works when written just like that, you can't embed the expansion in a
longer string. So if you try to use aliases you'll likely have the same
syntactical issue.
