Comment (by metzen):
Would a solution using `dir()` work better with a customized
`__getattribute__`?
{{{
if 'user' not in dir(request):
raise ImproperlyConfigured
}}}
Alternatively, could something be done with inspecting the stack trace to
find where the exception originated?
The lack of patch2 to correctly raise `AttributeErrors` beneath the
`request.user` lookup has actually bitten me several times in my current
project.
