-   the keydb, which can occur if the user has configured multiple
-   keyrings or keyboxes or if a keyring or keybox was corrupted.

-   PUBKEY_USAGE_AUTH.
-
-   XXX: Currently, only PUBKEY_USAGE_ENC and PUBKEY_USAGE_SIG are

-   INCLUDE_UNUSABLE indicates whether disabled keys are allowed.
-   (Recipients specified with --encrypt-to and --hidden-encrypt-to may
-   be disabled.  It is possible to edit disabled keys.)
-
-   SOURCE is the context in which SEARCH_TERMS was specified, e.g.,
-   "--encrypt-to", etc.  If this function is called interactively,
-   then this should be NULL.
-
-   If WARN_POSSIBLY_AMBIGUOUS is set, then emits a warning if the user
-   does not specify a long key id or a fingerprint.
