Sorry for being late to the party... I have a stylistic/efficiency
concern here. I'd prefer this function be an iterator [1,2] rather
than returning a potentially large table of tables. Something like:

for credential in c:credentials(creds.State.VALID) do
end

You can accomplish this quite naturally with coroutines [3,4].
