I want to add I'm not an ERC user but circe user, I've got interested in
the patch as I use the backend with circe, gnus, magit, elfeed and so
on.

A lot of programs don't implement the full path traversal and just end
up having a static or a bogus path (e.g. those that implement
Freedesktop SecretService with pass).
So I favor a correct implementation, any progress is welcome.

Hm it depends if there are any backends that workaround that old behavior.

require and max.
My personal bindings for circe to auth-source currently only exist of
small functions:
;; Adopted from Ghub.el, refactored for use with Circe IRC
(defun circe--ident (username network)
(format "%s^%s" username network))
(defun circe--auth-source-get (keys &rest spec)
(declare (indent 1))
(let ((plist (car (apply #'auth-source-search
(append spec (list :max 1))))))
(mapcar (lambda (k)
(plist-get plist k))
keys)))
(defun circe-pass-get (host user &optional network)
"\fn(fn host user &optional network)"
(auth-source-forget (list :host host :user user :max 1))
(when network
(setq user (circe--ident user network)))
(let ((match (car (circe--auth-source-get (list :secret)
:host host :user user))))
(cond ((null match)
(error "Auth source empty for %s %s %s" host user network))
((functionp match)
(funcall match)) (t match))))
Which makes me wonder why ERC needs the different behavior but then I'm
not really a good lisp programmer more a novice.
