RL analogy: I'd just try to plug in one key after the other into the
lock until one opens it).

So I'd like to say something like: use whatever key fits. So either I'd
need to give start ssh like this:

   ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa1 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa2 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa3 -i
~/.ssh/id_rsa4 ...

which is bothersome or, the natural way would seem like saying:

   ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa

respectively by using the default identity file:

   ssh ...

which would use whatever key in id_rsa that works with the public key on the server.
