Do we really need to add this?

Wouldn't it be much nicer to just teach people to use one of the existing
signature things that we need for _other_ cases anyway, and already have
merged?

(Of course, it's possible that none of the current crypto supports any
signature checking at all - I didn't actually look. In which case my
argument is pointless).
