Public bug reported:
--no-options is documented with:
> Shortcut for --options /dev/null. This option is detected before an
attempt to open an option file. Using this option will also prevent the
creation of a ‘~/.gnupg’ homedir.
When I read this, the word "shortcut" led me to assume that `--no-
options` is equivalent to specifying `--options /dev/null`, and that
`--options /dev/null` would also have all the described effects. This
is not the case.
(I suggest rewording this without reference to `--options /dev/null`.)
