   I'm not arguing for an extra round-trip, but rather immediate client send
   of the data in multiline format, a la TAKETHIS.  In other words, I agree
   with the command syntax; I just think that it's cleaner to send the auth
   block as multiline data rather than as a command parameter.

And the exact syntax is obviously not all that important, so whatever
is fine with me.
