    I wonder if they think of a deeper integration of this into the age binary. Currently the invocation looks extremely ugly:

        age -r $(go run filippo.io/torchwood/cmd/age-keylookup@main joe@example.com)

      I assume once it's stabilized you'd swap the `go run` for just installing and using a binary, similar to what you're already doing with age.

        Honestly not sure why I didn't do that once the tool had stabilized.

        Switched to

            go install filippo.io/torchwood/cmd/age-keylookup@main
            age -r $(age-keylookup alice@example.com)
        
        age is designed to be composable and very stable, and this shell combination works well enough, so it's unlikely we'll build it straight into age(1).

    Of all the words we could've used to explain how to pronounce something

      At first glance I misread this as "stone age keys" and thought it was a dig at gpg
