Comment (by dfunckt):
Hi Tim, if by "document" you mean "public API" then it depends on whether
these mixins are intended to be extended. There's no reason one would call
the method unless wanting to customise the mixin somehow and
`UserPassesTestMixin` isn't enough. Apart from checking for object
permissions, I can't think of other reasons to extend though, and that
includes my experience with the respective function decorators -- access
customisation is usually done with auth backends.
Regarding tests, the only meaningful test for these changes I guess would
be to test that `has_permission` raises an exception if not provided.
