Sort of. It provides basic encryption support that the TODO item on
encryption referred to, though I didn't use much of it. (At least I
think it referred to pgg at that time, but maybe it was something pgg
replaced.)
What I meant by `general facility' was file-handler-based encryption
of files, i.e. something not tied to a specific package like Allout.
Note, however, that the basic PGG code will lose data in some
circumstances with non-ASCII characters as far as I can tell. (I
don't know whether my reply about that got through.) Then I noticed
that even with ASCII data, if you use M-x pgg-encrypt-region followed
by M-x pgg-decrypt-region on the result, it fails with:
[GNUPG:] NODATA 2
gpg: decrypt_message failed: eof
gpg exited abnormally: '2'
