Just to be clear: the thing being checked, i.e. the thing being provided by
the user when logging in, is just an IUsernamePassword. Hence, the
credentialInterfaces list on the ICredentialsChecker is [IUsernamePassword].

The only place where IUsernameHashedPassword comes in to play is storage,
i.e. the thing I am checking the user-provided IUsernamePassword against.

Maybe code is better: https://gist.github.com/4072062 (old.py is what it is
now, new.py is what I'm proposing)
