Comment (by alasdair):
jfilipes approach looks promising, so I have unassigned the ticket from
myself.
> Also, the term "simple" seems a little vague to me. Something like
`force_login(user)`, or `login(user, force=True)` would seem more
explicit.
Adding `force=True` to the login method would be backwards incompatible.
As mjtamlyn says earlier in the comments, login currently takes `**kwargs`
which get passed to the auth backend.
