When a user doesn't want a graphical prompt (I don't, because it freezes
Emacs, and I use Emacs to get my password), how can he know that he must
configure `epa-pinentry-mode'?  I only found it by making extensive use
of the debugger.  I didn't even know where to look and which libraries
were relevant.
