Thanks for the patch.  I think it would better to enforce ordering
for all operations rather than treat encryptions separately from
decryptions.  We could conceivably have more complex operations made
up from both encryptions and decryptions that could then get
out-of-order.

It would also make the code simpler.

Cheers,
