If you consider a slightly more complex example, take a protocol that (say)
looks things up in a database. Now you want to know *who* is logged in via
SASL. So it's going to take a custom profile to make sure SASL has already
run in exactly the same way that it takes a custom profile to make sure that
the right user logged in via SASL.

This is not to say that a more generic way of checking such things in a
library would be bad.
