I see what you mean. I'll go through them.

Good idea.

Sorry, missed it.

That's right. Although the content of the original array argument could be 
modified, the caller has not used it. In fact, changing it from array to a 
normal object makes me feel relieved. I always needed to remind myself that 
this was not meant to be an '[out]' parameter.

I don't know.

That's what I asked you about a more precise way to ensure a cred is a S4U2self 
one. I thought about stuff the `S4U2Type` value as a "type" field into the 
credentials returned by `serviceCreds()` but it looks a little ugly.

Thanks.

Hi @martinuy, I looked at the variable names. Some can be named `clientCreds` 
or `proxyCreds`. Some are for a general `additionalTickets`. I can name it to 
`additionalCreds` but this "creds" is only one object and not an array.
