I started playing with subclassing the auth models today. What's nice is
that when you subclass User with, say, UserProfile, all users get a
.userprofile property, so the functionality of get_profile() is there for
free with the bonus of multiple User subclasses if that's needed.
I was thinking it might be useful if there was a setting like
AUTH_USER_CLASS so that the specified subclass of User is used for
request.user, create_user(), authenticate(), login(), the auth views, etc.

Maybe something like this is already in the plans, since get_profile() seems
out of place or needs updating for use with inheritance, but I couldn't find
anything about it.

cheers,
  Justin
