Hi devs,

I propose to expose XWikiContext.getUserReference() to the web API
(api.Context), specifically:

    /**
     * Returns the document reference for the profile page of the current
user which made the request. If there's no
     * currently logged in user in XWiki then the returned reference is for
<i>XWiki.XWikiGuest</i> which represents any
     * anonymous user. The returned reference can always be considered an
absolute document reference, meaning that
     * <code>getUserReference().getWikiReference().getName()</code> will
always return the name of the user's wiki.
     *
     * @return The document reference for the current user which made the
request.
     */
    public DocumentReference getUserReference()
    {
        return getXWikiContext().getUserReference();
    }

Some more details are available at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6964

A pull request is available at
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/23

Here's my +1

Thanks,
Eduard
