Description

Is it possible to do something like "keybase encrypt messge.txt not-a-keybase-user"

I have this person in my gnupg keyring and I can decrypt from them by simply doing 'keybase decrypt msg.txt'

Or how should this work, I did not see anything in the docs for it yet.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the documented behavior of the keybase encrypt and decrypt commands and how the existing GnuPG keyring is used. Clarify whether recipients outside Keybase are intended to be supported, then define the expected command behavior and documentation needed for the feature.
