(CamelCase? Horror!)
That would hide the search API, especially that you can get multiple
answers and connection parameters for a query. End users are not
supposed to use auth-source directly, and packages will almost always
want the complex search.
Also getPass or whatever it's called will expose the password, whereas
now it's wrapped in a lexical-let so you can't see it easily until
you're ready to use it.
I understand the benefit of simplicity, though. Hmmm. Besides ERC,
where would you use the simpler functions?
