Same for --edit, which is now --edit-key or --edit-card.  The
abbreviated commands are convenience for interactive use and not
expected to be used in scripts etc.  Thus we we won't change that.

BTW: I have never used --clear because that is too much to type.
I always use -sb which goes back to PGP-2.
