It's vital to put thought into "naming things" before a poor decision
becomes permanent because it becomes public.  At the very least, "-c"
suggests check and "-C" would often be the negative don't check, even if
no -c option exists because it's the default.

And then there's the issue Adrian raises.

Title:
  verify digital signatures

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  This is a feature request to verify digital signatures.  I'm receiving more and more digitally signed PDF's and evince already acknowledges them with:
  Signature Not Verified
  Digitally signed by <signer>
  Date:  <time stamp>
  Reason: <reason>
  Location: <location>
  but it would be great if Evince would be integrated into the distro's ca-certificate infrastructure to verify these signatures.
