As stated in the recently added documentation, this option outputs an OpenPGP data structure.
Is there any way to obtain a cleartext signature (as produced by --clearsign) or a content and detached signature pair, either through additional CLI options and the GPGPME interface or through some conversion?

This would be quite useful on its own, and in particular to allow email clients to implement decryption and rewriting into MIME multipart/signed (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3156#section-6.2), useful for forwarding.
