contrib.sessions.tests.SessionTestsMixin.test_invalid_key raises
AttributeError if middleware has written an item to the cache which uses
an integer for the key.
Ticket author found that djangobb (a packaged django forum app which
ticket author has no affiliation) uses this technique.
Conventional session cache keys, for security as well as readability, need
to use namespaces.
