Include key preferences in --with-colons
Testing, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

--with-colons currently doesn't include key preferences.

$ gpg --with-colons --list-key eschwartz@gentoo.org # provides various info
$ gpg --with-colons --list-options show-pref-verbose --list-key eschwartz@gentoo.org # same output

But without --with-colons, they produce different info, namely, --list-options shows:

Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, CAST5, 3DES
AEAD: 
Digest: SHA512, SHA384, SHA256, SHA224, SHA1
Compression: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Uncompressed
Features: MDC, Keyserver no-modify

Could this information be included in machine-readable output please?

We want to use this information to check if generated keys for our org aren't misconfigured.
