Note that it's practically impossible to make it seamlessly work; there
is no way to reliably detect that the 'loopback' pinentry is enabled by
the GnuPG installation. I don't want to document non-working setup.
Use it at your own risk or blame someone else (the GnuPG upsteam or
downstream package maintainers), really. I am almost done with this
issue.
