I also recommend this, but there's a problem: creating a new user only
adds the XWikiUsers object, since it doesn't create documents based on a
template. This means that somewhere you'll have to add this object.
A solution is to put a check in the user sheet, similar to what is done
for WebPreferences and a missing XWikiPreferences object.
#if(!$doc.getObject('XWiki.ExtendUserClass'))
$response.sendRedirect($doc.getURL('objectadd',
'classname=XWiki.ExtendUserClass'))
#end
