Admittedly I mostly just copied what git-remote-mediawiki did here and
don't really have any preference either way, even though with this
function returning a reference the call site would have to become:

                %$credential = %{ credential_read $reader };

Another alternative would be for it to take a reference as an argument,
possibly an optional one:

+sub credential_read {
+	my ($self, $reader, $ret) = (_maybe_self(@_), {});
+	my %credential;
+	while (<$reader>) {
+		# ...
+	}
+	%$ret = %credential;
+	$ret;
+}

I'd avoid modifying the hash while reading though since I think it's
best if it's left intact in case of an error.

And of course, if we want to get even more crazy, credential_write could
accept either reference or a hash, like so:

+sub credential_write {
+	my ($self, $writer, @rest) = _maybe_self(@_);
+	my $credential = @rest == 1 ? $rest[0] : { @rest };
+	my ($key, $value);
+	# ...
+}

Bottom line is, anything can be coded, but a question is whether it
makes sense to do so. ;)
