// 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 request 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(r, access); err != nil {
//			if challenge, ok := err.(auth.Challenge) {
//				// Let the challenge write the response.
//				challenge.SetHeaders(r, w)
//				w.WriteHeader(http.StatusUnauthorized)
//				return
//			} else {
//				// Some other error.
//			}
//		}
//	}
