That seems like a pretty simple change.  The documentation for
epg-encrypt-string says:

,----
| If RECIPIENTS is nil, it performs symmetric encryption.
`----

So, I guess this is right.  We should probably update the documentation
for org-crypt to say that if you don't set a crypt key it will default
to symmetric encryption.
