Comment (by cmlenz):

 It's not entirely clear to me why you can't do this preprocessing in the
 authenticate() method of your CAS-based IAuthenticator implementation. Can
 you clarify that?

 If we add request preprocessors/filters, we'd need to also figure out a
 way to order them deterministically. Your patch will simply execute them
 in the order they've been imported (and thus registered). Or should we
 simply say that request filters may not depend on each other in any way?
