Comment:

 I'm going to reopen for now due to the fact this is a regression in 1.4.

 Previously, this was possible:

 {{{
 def my_view(request):
     obj = MyObj(user=request.user, amount=1)
     request.session['unsaved_obj'] = obj
     # ...
 }}}

 Now request.user has been changed to a `SimpleLazyObject` rather than
 changing the request class to actually lazily return the true user object,
 this will choke.
 Maybe this is an acceptable regression, but it's something I tripped up on
 in a project recently.
