Description

separate namespace compojure.api.buddy with registered dispatchers for making it easy to use them from c-api. Something like:

(context* "/api" []
  :authenticated? true
  (context* "/admin" []
    :auth-handlers [admin-access operator-access]
    ...))

EDIT 18.8.2015. Should be security in general. Goes for Ring-Swagger too.

Research direction
The issue proposes adding security as a first class citizen via a separate namespace compojure.api.buddy. Research should examine existing security middleware in compojure api and Ring Swagger, understand Buddy's authentication and authorization mechanisms, and design a macro or decorator pattern as sketched.
