I would like to have `sudo` check the password against both the target
user and the current user. `sudo` defaults to checking it against the
current user and has a 'targetpw' option to check it against the
target user INSTEAD. I would like it to check both users, and if
either matches then consider it a match.

So, so far your excerpts don't help, but I appreciate the effort.
