Indeed. epa-... is an absolutely terrible name. I remember the first time I used some of the commands there I had to look up the meaning of EPA in the source code...

The command names M-x epa-... are not natural for people to remember.
`epa' is, effectively, a magic code.

Surely we can do better.  For instance, we could make an alias for
each command with `crypt' instead of `epa'.

You might have a better idea for precisely how to do this, but let's
do it somehow.  The existing names are totally unhelpful.
