+        `encrypt` function, provide an encryption name (and/or short name),
+        and an eme namespace.
+
+        Once loaded, the plugin will attempt to decrypt any message that
+        contains an EME message that matches the one set.
+
+        The plugin will also register a command (using the short name) to
+        enable encryption per tab. It is only possible to have one encryption
+        mechanism per tab, even if multiple e2ee plugins are loaded.
+
+        The encryption status will be displayed in the status bar, using the
+        plugin short name, alongside the JID, nickname etc.
