--------------------------------------------+------------------------
The `cycle_key()` method will use an empty `dict` for session data if it
had not previously been loaded. The docstring says the function is there
specifically to avoid losing sesison data, and the behavior feels
inconsistent. This won't be noticed on most sites, as the
`AuthenticationMiddleware` accesses the session on every request. However,
it did cause problems for me in unittests for some views.
