Peter and Alexander have answered for me.

This feature is implemented (for example) in openssh client and I can't imagine that people at openssh project waste their time implementing useless things.

And indeed, it's a nice feature. Why would one impose two files when only one (the private key file) is enough?

I haven't understood exactly when this would be useful?

I could look into implementing this for libgcrypt if you just separate
the OpenSSL specific stuff into openssl.h/openssl.c. It could also be
acceptable that the libgcrypt-port does not have this feature until
someone implements it.
