What are the main sources of confusion and missing functionality that
you've noticed people encounter with dropwizard-auth?  Glancing at
pac4j, it seems pretty complex!  I feel like dropwizard's strength is
its simplicity, and would actually prefer the default auth package to be
even simpler, if it were up to me:
