Ok, thanks for taking the time and effort in explaning this in detail.

Solution B really turns out to be too complex after all. So as long as
that @encrypted argument does not need to propagate any further than a
couple of helpers - as it does now - I guess we can do solution A.

BUT! Wait until next week before sending your patches again because the
merge window isn't over yet.

Thx.
