See #284 for an example. Need better error messaging in this case. Or maybe, as GPG does, infer the correct encoding.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #284 for the malformed ASCII armor example and the current decryption error behavior. Clarify whether the expected result is a better error message or GPG-like encoding inference; done means the agreed behavior is handled and covered by an appropriate test.
