break existing applications / projects using Mongoengine.

Mongoengine installs a custom MongoUser that is a shim around the actual model, which is a mongoengine document. The actual user id is a hexadecimal number / string and might not be validated using int(), causing the following exception

{{{

[u'\u201a511a1da669fe60752b000000\u201b Wert muss eine Ganzzahl sein.']

}}}


I do not know whether django.contrib.auth should make any assumption on the actual type of the id, or whether mongoengine should reimplement the pk property and delegate to its own version of the Auto field.
