Hi Ian,

This is a problem I've encountered multiple time, so I'm very happy to 
hear a solution is in the works!

Auth functions in particular are very good candidates for chaining - 
most cases where I implemented an auth function I just wanted to treat a 
special case, and then fall-back to the default implementation otherwise 
(In practice I've had to import the default function).

Is there a GitHub issue for this? I'm happy to contribute some real 
world use cases.

Thanks,
Alice
