Yes, in the same way that if you torture a DSA key long enough you can
get the Elgamal encryption algorithm out of it. But once you do that,
*you're no longer using DSA*.
Likewise, Edwards DSA can be tortured into becoming a Curve25519 key.
But once you do that, *you're no longer using Edwards DSA*.
