string

When I inherit "django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm" and set the
"username" field's label to an empty string:
{{{
username = forms.CharField(label='')
}}}
...it is ignored and the "Username:" label is rendered in HTML output.
Trying the same thing with "password" field works as expected (i.e. label
is not rendered), so this behaviour is inconsistent.
I think it is related to the following if statement in
django/contrib/auth/forms.py file:
{{{
if self.fields['username'].label is None:
self.fields['username'].label =
capfirst(self.username_field.verbose_name)
}}}
