I would really appreciate it if you added your experience to the
developer section of the auth-source manual, and especially let me know
if you think the code needs changing. As far as I know Daiki Ueno is
the only one to have added a backend, so with you we'd have enough
experience to improve the code and simplify or expand it as needed.
