I suggest adding !__bool!__() method returning False to the AnonymousUser.
This way it'll be possible to check if the user is authenticated by simply
writing
{{{
if request.user:
}}}
It's a frequent source of bugs (at least for me, but probably I'm not
alone) that right now this code returns True for anonymous users.
