You're right that loginWithUsername is clumsy, since the first argument is
probably an expression like "username" or "usernameField.text" or somesuch.
But I would much prefer

    func loginAs(username: String, password: String) -> Bool

because it reads like something I'd actually say. Consider telling a
coworker "log in as 'mayoff', password 'bikeshed'".
