     Statistics for the current user id.
 
+    The <MANY_ARGS> are the usual space delimited arguments.  Here we
+    have too many of them to fit on one printed line and thus they are
+    given on 3 printed lines:
+
+    : <summary> <sign-count> <encryption-count>
+    : [<policy> [<tm1> <tm2> <tm3> <tm4>

     Values for SUMMARY are:
     - 0 :: attention, an interaction with the user is required (conflict)
     - 1 :: key with no verification/encryption history
