Anything Else?

This RPC call seems to exist for multiple years. I couldn't find where it was added but could find references to it as far back as 2018[1]. Seems about time to me to add it in web3 too.

Another reason for requesting the addition is encryption/decryption of messages. Currently that is possible with web3 but you have to use helper libraries and a true boat load of github issues to even figure out how to use it. Adding this ins web3 would make it one step easier.
