It might be better to split pgg-gpg-encrypt-symmetric-region from
pgg-gpg-encrypt-region rather than maintaining
pgg-symmetric-encryption-schemes.

When pgg-invoke calls "encrypt-symmetric-region" on pgp or pgp5
backend, a void-function error is signaled.  Therefore, the user will
see that "encrypt-symmetric-region" is not implemented.

And also, is it still necessary to give special meaning to the 1st
argument (recipients) of pgg-encrypt-region?

Currently, PGG in Emacs CVS is a part of Gnus.  So I added
Simon Josefsson to the Cc: list.  He is one of Gnus maintainers and he
has taken care of PGG in Gnus CVS.
