There's a proposal [1] to add a new method to the test client that works 
like login(), but skips the authentication (no credentials need to be 
provided) and verification (is_active=False can login) steps. The signature 
is (user, backend=None). What would you name this method?

Proposals so far:
* force_login() (since this method bypasses authentication and other checks 
login() has)
* login_user() (since this method takes a user argument instead of 
credentials)
