Triggered by a recent payment reversal need, I had to use sign/verify message today, and was surprised that p2wpkh in Core is not supported for verify side (i.e. address is someone else's wallet). First, am I right about that, second, why? It's no different from p2pkh is it? You just use pubkey recovery and then go from there to the address ..? Why isn't that straightforward? I see it's working in Electrum e.g.

@waxwing last I looked I got the impression that many though signing with addresses was a mistake. It is oddly low level to expose so widely.
