    Description

      Most Commands have a requiresAuth()==true condition (the default).
      For those commands, we shouldn't parse() their request unless the client is authenticated.

      These requests are going to be rejected anyway, so there's no user-visible change, but we could be making the rejection decision more securely and efficiently.
