The first one that saves it. Presumably, that implies that on a read, it
will be the early one that responds with the credentials.

Yup.

We talked about that, along with a NULL func ptr for next. Many providers
will only have a single set of credentials, so it is a bit silly to
implement a next that only returns NULL.

(this is also the reason why I conflated get-iterator and the first call to
 the iterator; get-first-cred performs those two, then you have NULL for the
 next func)
