Actually, there is more common use case which doesn't seem to be
solved by the current branch: getting proxy instances into
request.user. If you use just ProxyUser(auth.User) the proxy model
will not be loaded into request.user, and if you set the ProxyUser as
AUTH_USER_MODEL, then it will not work as you can't subclass the
swapped out auth.User.
The added commits solves this by allowing you to do:
class MyUser(AbstractUser):
# define additional methods etc.
and:
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myuser'
This could also be solved by somehow allowing fetching proxy instance
to request.user. In any case, IMO this needs some solution before
release.
This feature is already looking really good. I know that every single
one of my projects will have uses for this feature, so I am really
looking forward to getting this into 1.5.
