It's probably over-engineering. I was thinking that perhaps, possibly,
it would make sense to allow any credential to be either gpg:, file: or
nothing, which would be the literal string.
So you could say "password file:~/.foo" if you wanted to, if you (say)
had some kind of system that generated passwords per Emacs session or
something.
So adding a file: name space would make it possible to extend the format
unambiguously if something like that would be useful. But it would
probably not be useful. :-)
