OK.  So really the case is "possibly anonymous" versus "definitely
authenticated" services.  NNTP is also like that and IMAP itself can
function unauthenticated if so configured.  IRC can be used anonymously
or not.  So maybe `auth-source-search' should be smart enough to
accomodate the two cases through a common API.
