Note that it's practically impossible to make it seamlessly work; there
is no way to reliably detect that the 'loopback' pinentry is enabled by
the GnuPG installation.  I don't want to document non-working setup.

Use it at your own risk or blame someone else (the GnuPG upsteam or
downstream package maintainers), really.  I am almost done with this
issue.
