Nice!

I'd like to fix the prior abstract. Auth and auth upsets me greatly cos we have:

Authentication & Authorization

and we call both/either auth. Hence please help me make this a thing:

AuthENTIcation & AuthORIzation : ENTI & ORI

ENTI- can you enter, ORI (or ORIZ) what can you do?

This has already been solved well-enough with AuthN and AuthZ as distinct names.
