**If** an option is added to force use of an expired key (for either encrypting
or signing) as has been suggested, there should be a WARNING when decrypting
something that was encrypted with an expired key. I personally don't think
the force option should be added, but the case has been made otherwise, and
if it is done, I think we need to add the warning here (if only for symmetry...).
