<@U0BLPSJAK> do you have any ideas for an optional jwt auth? I thought I could use the `skipWhen` flag, which according to doc: `If there is no filters, authentication is required. If any filter returns true, authentication is not required.` Meaning that when it returns true, auth is optional. But it seems more like it completely skips the auth process.

It would be nice to if there was a simple `optional` flag.

Another thing: From the current master it seems that alternative auth schemes will be supported in the next version?

I have a proposal branch with this: <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/compare/authenticate.optional>
But not sure if the final design.
Also can’t find `skipWhen` in the documentation, probably I missed something; going to check.

The proposal looks good! Regarding the `skipWhen`, it's just what I read in the docs in IntelliJ
