Right, so we're already showing that it's flexible to allow for multiple
encryption methods. If folks want more then it's on them to research
how they'd work exactly and explain why they'd be useful to add and how
users might make an informed choice (though, again, I don't think we
need to go *too* deep into that as we don't for, eg, pgcrypto, and I
don't believe we've ever heard people complain about that).
Thanks,
Stephen
