Comment (by Adam):
If the pull request is not going to get merged then maybe a good
compromise would be moving [the logic for encoding the user's primary
key][https://github.com/django/django/blob/5.1.5/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L481]
into its own function so that it's easier to override in a subclass. The
logic for decoding the user's primary key is already easy to override in a
subclass.
