Proposing an is_loggedin method for User and AnonymousUser models. Templates treat non-existing variables as False; therefore; a request.user somehow failing to get assigned would result in the template treating the user as they are authenticated (is_anonymous evaluates False). An is_loggedin would be a more secure option because if request.user failed to get assigned, the template would treat the user as anonymous.
I would much rather mistakenly treat an authenticated user as anonymous than mistakenly treat an anonymous user as authenticated. is_anonymous could be changed to return the negation of is_loggedin.
