Note, as soon as you do db.auth_user, the table is no longer lazy. Maybe 
not a big deal for this one table.

Probably doesn't matter much where you define the function, though I 
suppose there could be a slight performance benefit to putting it in a 
module (where it will only be defined once instead of on every request).

Again, probably not a big deal, but you could move that to a module, or 
maybe use AppConfig (which caches the configuration data after the initial 
setup).
