The one caveat being that your implementation only supports cleartext methods
like auth-plain (and auth-login if you added it). Because you need the
cleartext password to perform the backend authentication, there is no way to
support auth-cram-md5. That may be an acceptable limitation for some sites, but
doesn't lend itself to a generalized solution.
