I mean the more general logic for "here's a host name and a protocol and
some search criteria, find some authentication tokens." That's really
90% of auth-source.el and it seems that I would reimplement most of it
if gnutls.el did its own handling of certificate storage.
I think I'll change the auth-source API, since I'll be rewriting at
least some of that library. It may make sense to make the query
language more powerful, handle get/change/delete operations on any
search results, and make the authentication tokens more than just
strings (they'll probably embed all the information needed for a search,
acting like database table rows). I'll add a layer for backward
compatibility, of course.
