entering both, password and message via standard input

Hi.

I have a case where I need to enter both, the passphrase and a message
(that should be decrypted), via standard input.
(Well, in principle it another non-interactive way for the passphrase
would be ok, too, but not --passphrase-fd and neither --passphrase
string).

It seems that the following works:
printf "%s\n%s" $passphrase $message | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt
So I assume the first line is taken as passphrase, removed, and
everything else as the message.

Is this the intended behaviour and is it kept like that in future
versions,.. or is it just working like that "by accident"?

Should I add other options, like --batch or --no-tty?


Thanks,
Chris.
