What this series wants to achieve makes a lot of sense to me.  One
comment I have after skimming the patfches is that I want the new
"raw" bit added not as a yet another parameter after "verbose", but
by turning the existing "verbose" into an "unsigned flag" flag word
(with "#define GPG_VERIFY_VERBOSE 01") and then defining use of a
new bit in the same flag word "#define GPG_VERIFY_RAW 01" or
something.  That way, over time other people add differnt things to
the interface, we would not have to end up with 47 different
parameters each of which signals a single bit.

Thanks.
