Hi people,

This is a belated follow-up to a brief exchange I had with Damien
earlier this year:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2022-04/msg00982.html

To recap, ERC would like to include the UNIX password store in the suite
of available back ends for its auth-source integration. To do that, we'd
need auth-source-pass to either export quite a few internal functions or
offer a bit more in the way of "standard" functionality. Thinking door
#2 the likelier, I've gone ahead and attempted a POC that mainly caters
to ERC's own requirements. (Sadly, I'm not well enough acquainted with
the library to aim much wider than that.) Regardless, I'm hoping someone
more knowledgeable will be willing to give this a think at some point.

Thanks,
J.P.

Because I am easily swayed (or maybe just a liar), I've gone ahead and
enabled it by default [1]. I've also informed Nicolas Petton of the
change. I guess Björn was too busy or annoyed by my pestering to keep
up, which is understandable.

Thanks, everyone, for your help with this (especially Akib, who I pray
will consider contributing to ERC in the future). And please remember to
complain if you encounter any related ugliness. In the meantime, I am
closing this bug.
