Sebb commented on DIR-334:
--------------------------

Yes, I know. But that is unsafe - see [1]

If the second parameter is omitted, for a detached signature it will check 
against the implied main file.

However, for a combined file/signature it will only check the combined file.

The other file is not checked unless the parameter is provided, so it could be 
anything.

The only way to be sure that the main file is checked is to provide it as the 
second parameter
