Given Werner's proposed mechanism, pinentry is contacting emacs because
emacs asked it to (by setting the special environment variable) -- so
Emacs should be prepared to be contacted, and can communicate any needed
info in the environment variable.

In New York, most people don't have cars, so if you want to kill a person, you
have to take the subway to their house. And sometimes on the way, the train
is delayed and you get impatient, so you have to kill someone on the subway.
