Assume you have an encrypted file test.gpg and try to open it in emacs.
At the password prompt, type in an incorrect one. A blank buffer is
still opened.

The tricky thing is if you save back the contents in that buffer
(because accidentally you think you have typed in a correct password),
the original content will be gone.

It seems better for easypg not to open a blank buffer when password is
incorrect.
