This is on purpose, the context is very powerful and therefore hard to manage
and ensure thread safety, therefore it's been moved to the internal API. You
can of course use it, but beware of the potential problems.

Agreed, this is a known limitation. We should have a factory for creating
users. Maybe not until after 1.0.

I have to think some more on this.

We're trying to stablize the API right now, so it might be too late for a name
change for 1.0.
I'll schedule this issue for 1.1 if you don't mind? We're trying to focus on
getting 1.0 out at the moment.
