Well, you don't access the user through request.session.user, but
simply through request.user. And if you have the auth context
processor installed, which you do by default, you can simply get it
via {{ user }}.
So one answer is to define your own context processor to use in place
of the auth one, which returns an instance of your proxy class for the
user.
Another possibility is to provide a custom request middleware which
replaces request.user with your version. This might be preferable, as
you now have access to the extra methods throughout your code, not
just in templates.
