Comment (by Adam McKay):
Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
> The lack of validation is consistent with `Model.save()`, etc. I see
nothing in the documentation that suggests this would behave otherwise.
Hi Tim,
I agree the behaviour is consistent with `Model.save()`, however I think
the usage of `create_user` goes beyond a typical model method as it will
ensure a `username` is specified (raises an exception if not), normalises
`username` and `email` and can also generate a `password` if one is not
specified.
Perhaps I should have logged this as a feature enhancement to call
`full_clean()` prior to `user.save()` rather than a bug? My intention
being to get a more accurate error from the method.
