> The {{IAuthenticator}} interface has a {{requireAuthentication}} to indicate whether an implementation requires an explicit login. For consistency it would be useful for 3rd party implementers if the {{IAuthorizer}} had a similar method {{requireAuthorization}} that would indicate if the implementation required explicit authorization.
> This would mean that we could remove and explicit {{instanceof}} checks for {{AllowAllAuthenticator}} and {{AllowAllAuthorizer}} in the code.
