// Package auth defines a standard interface for request access controllers.
//
// An access controller has a simple interface with a single `Authorized`
// method which checks that a given request is authorized to perform one or
// more actions on one or more resources. This method should return a non-nil
// error if the requset is not authorized.
//
// An implementation registers its access controller by name with a constructor
// which accepts an options map for configuring the access controller.
//
// options := map[string]interface{}{"sillySecret": "whysosilly?"}
// accessController, _ := auth.GetAccessController("silly", options)
//
// This `accessController` can then be used in a request handler like so:
//
// func updateOrder(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// orderNumber := r.FormValue("orderNumber")
// resource := auth.Resource{Type: "customerOrder", Name: orderNumber}
// access := auth.Access{Resource: resource, Action: "update"}
//
// if ctx, err := accessController.Authorized(ctx, access); err != nil {
// if challenge, ok := err.(auth.Challenge) {
// // Let the challenge write the response.
// challenge.ServeHTTP(w, r)
// } else {
// // Some other error.
// }
// }
// }
//

// response. For most implementations, simply calling ServeHTTP should be

// returns a new authorized context. If one or more Access structs are
// provided, the requested access will be compared with what is available
// to the context. The given context will contain a "http.request" key with
// a `*http.Request` value. If the error is non-nil, access should always
// be denied. The error may be of type Challenge, in which case the caller
// may have the Challenge handle the request or choose what action to take
// based on the Challenge header or response status. The returned context
// object should have a "auth.user" value set to a UserInfo struct.
