This is certainly worth discussing. I don't like adding attributes to subs, either. I assume that if there is just 1 type of user, there isn't much need to do this, but when you have 2 types, say user and admin, then it becomes appealing. But to me the complexity outweights the benefits. I achieve the same effect by sub-classing. Of course, I end up with 2 apps, which I run via 2 ports, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:5012 and http://127.0.0.1:5013. I do understand that attrs per sub means you can get the client to log in as a user or as an admin, and hence use the same code, but I can't help feeling (from the code I've studied) that this leads to convoluted logic elsewhere.
