New description:

 The library should load, even if there's not /tmp/user_chk_registry.txt
 file.

 From the setup perspective it would be reasonable to just fall back to
 normal operation if the file is missing. From the security persective, it
 would probably be good to treat all packets as unregistered users.

 I don't have any preference. Whatever the choice is, it should be well
 documented.

 For now that library will act as a substitute for classification. Once
 proper classification is done, it will be relieved of doing that function.
 It is unclear what we'll do next with it.

 In any case, this is our first lib, so it will be used as example. Hence
 we need easy to read introdution for it. It should probably be part of the
 hooks documentation.
