Yeah, I thought the same thing while writing that code.  Thanks, I'll do 
it that way.

Right.  The assumption was that due to the nature of how the headers are 
used, the user would always be looking for a certain, predetermined set 
of values.  But I don't oppose to adding a pgp_armor_header_keys() 
function to get the set of all keys, for example.
