Quite possible.

Not needed because the gpg is zeroed (yes, I know that there used to
be strange machines where you can't do that with pointers).

Never try to access internal implementaion details of GpgmeData -
actuallty it is a bug that the complete structure is in scope.

Why do you want to release it anyway?  I can't see that it is owned by
arglist.

Thanks,
