I'm as pedantic as the next geeky dev, but I agree with this, and believe that arguing from example is perfectly valid in this case.

FWIW I would love to see the comment field moved to expert mode since it rather clearly qualifies under the "If you don't already know that you need this, you don't need this" category that --expert is designed to protect the casual user from. I think (Optional) would be an Ok compromise if that's what the gnupg devs think is right, although something closer to (You probably don't want to type anything here, no, really, don't do it) would be better. :)
