VerifyingProxyPreparer was added late (2.1), as part of a security fix.
It was introduced primarily to make it easy to specify context elements
in configuration files; the specific context element that got introduced
at the same time being BasicUntrustedObjectSecurityContext. A second
feature addition over BasicProxyPreparer is the ability to control
the class loader used to find trust verifiers.
