Indeed. Basically you get passphrase management
(up to 8, can be changed) and protection for
passphrases that are not so high in entropy
(iteration, salting). You also get management for
non-default crypto parameters.
Main drawback is that if you damage the header,
everything is gine. That is also an advantage if you
want easy secure deletion though.
Details in the FAQ, mostly Sections 2, 5 and 6.
