Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ but I've searched the list and
can't find a precise answer.

I want to display the login status of the user at the top of every
page.  If they were logged in, it should say something like "Logged is
as <username> (Log Out)" and if they're not logged in it should show a
link to the login page.

I could of course pass in the username as a dictionary value for each
page, but this quickly becomes tedious.  I also use render_to_response
a lot and if I understand correctly it doesn't pass through the user
info automatically, but will if you set the context_instance parameter
to a RequestInstance.  Is there a way I can access the user info from
any page without having to do the above?
