20673	Clarify that HttpRequest.user uses AUTH_USER_MODEL	Jorge C. Leitão	Susan Tan	"In [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.user] it is said 

{{{
A django.contrib.auth.models.User object representing the currently logged-in user.
}}}

But apparently ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17355275]), it returns the AUTH_USER_MODEL if it is defined.

I think this should be clarified in the documentation."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.5	Normal	fixed		Jorge C. Leitão	Accepted	0	0	0	0	1	0
