Encrypt data piped in from stdin using a passphrase.
What happened
It refused to encrypt data piped in from stdin using a passphrase. This works just fine with age, but not rage. rage will also decrypt data piped in from stdin just fine, but not encrypt.
$ echo "Attack at dawn!" | rage --armor --passphrase
Error: File to encrypt must be passed as an argument when using -p/--passphrase
[ Did rage not do what you expected? Could an error be more useful? ]
[ Tell us: https://str4d.xyz/rage/report ]
This same thing works with age, and rage has no problem decrypting data from stdin.
$ echo "Attack at dawn!" | age --armor --passphrase | rage -d
Attack at dawn!

Upon further investigation, it appears that rage requires you to specify - as the filename if you want to encrypt data piped in from stdin with a passphrase, like this:
$ rage-keygen | rage --armor --passphrase -

This is inconsistent with the go implementation. This is also inconsistent with rage in the case of using public-key encryption. But at least there's a workaround. Is this the desired behavior?
