I occasionally like to have multiple agents running, each with different
keys loaded, talking to different processes.  standard-socket wouldn't
let me do that.

i currently play this sort of game more often with ssh-agent than i do
with gpg-agent, but the principle is the same.  It'd be a shame to lose
the flexibility to do this.
