#24288: Custom User Models for small tweaks

------------------------------+-------------------------------
When creating projects that have to cooperate with outside systems, devs
can come upon situations where (for instance) they need a user model that
accepts a 36 character username instead of the default 30 character limit,
but otherwise behaves the same as the default model.
It's good that we have the flexibility to create custom user models and
managers extending the abstract base classes. But recreating a large
portion of the user model from scratch, when we only want to tweak one
small thing, is not a very satisfactory or simple solution.
Would it be possible in some future release to design something in the
middle ground between 'built-in' and 'completely custom', where we only
have to specify the parts that need to change?
