Lastly, if your mechanism is @code{ecdsa-nist256p-challenge}, this
option should instead hold the file name of your key.
This is nearly identical to the other ERC @samp{auth-source} function
options (@pxref{ERC auth-source functions}) except that the default
value here is @code{nil}, meaning you have to set it to something like
-@code{erc-auth-source-search} for queries to be performed.

+@defun erc-sasl-auth-source-password-as-host &rest plist
+Setting @code{erc-sasl-auth-source-function} to this function tells
+ERC to use @code{erc-sasl-password} for the @code{:host} field when
+querying auth-source, even if its value is the default
+@code{:password}, in which case ERC knows to ``resolve'' it to
+@code{erc-session-password} and use that as long as it's
+non-@code{nil}. Otherwise, ERC just defers to
+@code{erc-auth-source-search} to determine the @code{:host}, along
+with everything else.
+@end defun
+
+As long as this option specifies a function, ERC will pass it the
+``resolved'' value of @code{erc-sasl-user} for the auth-source
