Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 16:10:33 -0400

> With this change (in commit ae1d01328f2), auth-source-search started
> producing warnings, since (IIUC) it relies on the obsolete calling
> convention using :initarg.  For example, I get the following messages
> when evaluating the example form in the auth-source-search docstring:
>
> --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> Accessing slot ‘host’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:host’
> Accessing slot ‘type’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:type’
> Accessing slot ‘host’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:host’
> Accessing slot ‘type’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:type’
> Accessing slot ‘host’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:host’
> Accessing slot ‘type’ via obsolete initarg name ‘:type’
> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
>
> WDYT about adapting auth-source-search, along the following lines?

LGTM.  Do you want me to push it, or will you?
