Description
Currently, the default behavior of the keybase commandline app is to provide the user's PGP pubkey when issuing keybase pgp export.
I believe it would be a good addition, and intuitive, if the user was allowed to type something along the lines of keybase pgp export <identifier> where the identifier identified some keybase information.
In this way, I could use keybase as my "trusting agent" and "discovery tool" and still be able to import their PGP pubkeys into my GPG keyring without having to cURL for their pubkey.

Research direction
Start at the keybase pgp export command entry point and inspect how it currently selects the user's public key. Define how an identifier should resolve another Keybase user's key, then verify that the exported result can be imported into a GPG keyring.
