I'd suggest to replace this with just 'tkey'. Single obscure character
does not bring any readability value.

I'd have just single call site here and inside ifdef-shenanigans i'd
just set helper "keyring" to point to the appropriate keyring.

Please remove this empty line as the check below is associated with it.
