Description

Getting a reference to the SecurityContext is needed for safely updating information about the logged-in user, but there is no MVC argument resolver for it. I have a trivial implementation that I'm using in my own code and would be happy to prepare a PR for it if it's considered worth including in the mainline.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Spring MVC argument resolution and the existing SecurityContext integration points. Done means an MVC controller can receive a SecurityContext argument safely, with coverage for the resolver behavior.
