I could not actually get user=identity.user to work :(
Two options for getting the user; is one better than the other?
1)
uid=request.identity['repoze.who.userid']
user=User.by_user_name(uid)
2)
user2=request.identity['user']
These both get the same user object in my tests. Are they both
correct to use, or is option number 2 an undocumented feature that may
go away in a future TG version?
