Description
As of now, we depend on GPG for asymmetric cryptography. However, depending on GPGME seems to be an issue if Windows support is desired.
An alternative seems to be Sequoia, which has Windows support on their roadmap for 2019. To get started, it should already be possible to add symmetric (i.e. password based) cryptography to sheesy, serving as quick-start alternative to the key-based cryptography and thus somewhat competing with keypass and its command-line tools.
Requirements
- assure symmetric crypto is compatible with GPG, and ideally the GPG tools can be used for decryption, too, if the password is known.
Open Questions
- should it be possible to transition between stores of different kinds, e.g. asymmetric to symmetric and vice-versa?
- Will it be clear how files are encrypted, to not mistake asymmetrically encrypted files with symmetric ones and fail decryption for that reason.

- asymmetric pure-rust crypto. Would work as well, but may be less vetted than
