feature request: Support for ED25519 based encryption #625

In PKI, the README states:

Provides X.509 certificate support, ED25519 key generation and signing/verifying, and RSA public and private key encoding, decoding, encryption/decryption, and signing/verifying.

Could we have ED25519 based encryption and decryption as well?

ECC doesn't support encryption / decryption.

I thought that it was possible (via ECIES, ECDH, or ElGamal)

TLS 1.3 includes a provision for certificates signed w/ ed25519 keys.
