 Similar, but custom auth handlers are probably still working in a browser
 environment. This is more for non-browser environments than anything else.

 Not a big problem right now, but adding more APIs will make it one. The
 XMLRPC API calls `wp_authenticate` on each API call, but the JSON API has
 a [https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/blob/master/lib/class-wp-json-
 server.php#L99 custom filter] for this purpose.

 Unifying this across the whole of WP would be a bit nicer. :)
