Eric, Appologies, I should have been more careful to check I actually knew what I was talking about before I opened my mouth ;-) Didn't realise the existing private key version came in two separate functions like this. As I said, I'm a big fan of consistency, but I guess we have two precedents here - so either is good?
I have to follow the other method for my patch, since there are two parameters to the function which could be either a variable or file, otherwise we would need four versions of the function to cover all combinations!
