> while there exists API to check if a given {{Principal}} is backed by an
> {{Item}} in the repository (see {{ItemBasedPrincipal.getPath}}, we currently
> lack the ability to retrieve these principals by path. In other words the
> round trip is incomplete and forces consumers the workaround by involving
> user management API, which may or may not work depending on the
> implementation details of the underlying {{PrincipalProvider}}.
> the suggested extension would (in correspondence to the recent search
> extensions) be made optional by adding a default implementation to the
> {{PrincipalProvider}} interface.
> [~stillalex], will attach an initial patch. feedback both on the proposal and
> on the patch welcome as always.
