ssh-add -c is very useful for some situations and a total pain for
others (even on the same machine - though this can often be improved
by running ssh-add -c with some keys and plain ssh-add with others).

This in Xsession is a bit of a problem, the desired ssh-add command
is really down to user preferences so having to modify a system-wide
file to change it is a nuisance. It would be nice to have a way to
avoid running that ssh-add which is nicer than "name your keys
something other than id_rsa id_ecdsa id_ecdsa_sk id_ed25519
id_ed25519_sk id_dsa" ...
