Well, I thought that might be the case, but I didn't dig further.

Now that you're fixing it, I think you've still got it wrong.

Instead of
signify -V -p pubkey -i input
you want to be able to do
signify -V -p pubkey  input ...

e.g., at this point, input would not need to be an option, so that you
can verify several files in one go.

(of course, as soon as you use -o, that possibility vanishes).
