    ** Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that works with
      GNU Privacy Guard for encryption.  [Code exists but isn't assigned.
      See the Gnus development sources for assigned code concerning GPG
      use with mail, which is probably a good start.]  See also

I'm not sure I'd call that "general"; rather, it is different.
It is a more convenient interface.

I don't see that it would make the current allout.el encryption
feature unnecessary.
