I mean more from a code sprawl perspective. It seems that the netrc.el
parser can comfortably live inside auth-source.el and then we can avoid
some of the query language ambiguity between the two APIs, plus it will
be easier to do delete and create operations. It's really not a strong
feeling though, so feel free to say "no."
It would be good in the netrc.el header to provide examples of valid
netrc lines. I have some in auth.texi I can add, do you want to give a
few as well?
