In Simo's proposal the mechglue/mechanism will never output a cred
store, thus there's no memory management problem.
However, I find this short-sighted. I want to be able to ask "what is
the cred store currently in effect". I think inquiry functions are
important for observability and debugging if nothing else. I also
think that such an inquiry function would be truly useful here. That
we lack consensus for such an inquiry function now is not a reason to
paint ourselves into a memory management corner in the future.
