/**    
 * **Options**
 * 
 *  - `cookies` - An `Array` of cookie names
 *  - `headers` - An `Array` of header names
 *  - `params` - An `Array` of param names
 *  - `model` - Specify an AccessToken class to use
 * 
 * Each array is used to add additional keys to find an `accessToken` for a `request`.
 * 
 * The following example illustrates how to check for an `accessToken` in a custom cookie, query string parameter
 * and header called `foo-auth`.
 * 
 * ```js
 * app.use(loopback.token({
 *   cookies: ['foo-auth'],
 *   headers: ['foo-auth', 'X-Foo-Auth'],
 *   cookies: ['foo-auth', 'foo_auth']
 * }));
 * ```
 * 
 * **Defaults**
 * 
 * By default the following names will be checked. These names are appended to any optional names. They will always
 * be checked, but any names specified will be checked first.
 * 
 * - **access_token**
 * - **X-Access-Token**
 * - **authorization**
 * - **access_token**
 * 
 * **NOTE:** The `loopback.token()` middleware will only check for [signed cookies](http://expressjs.com/api.html#req.signedCookies).
 *
 * @header loopback.token(options)
