It's also much harder to write something for.

A use case for keyscript is something like
https://github.com/tfheen/ykfde/blob/master/helper which (while not
really a keyscript as it is) implements integration with Yubikeys. Doing
that with the full password agent proposal is much, much harder and
doesn't really gain us anything in this case.
