That will probably work locally.  But that will not be added to Ingo  
since 1) it improperly accesses IMP directly and 2) is not the correct  
way to add authentication to an application.

Even if 1 and 2 weren't issues, it still won't be added to Ingo since  
Ingo does not need full authentication.  Your particular use case is a  
fringe case, and I am not convinced that it couldn't be handled a  
different way (e.g. using the appinitialized hook).
