Comment:
I also suspect there is nothing that can be done. Other approaches to
making `request.user` lazy:
1. Dynamically add something to the request class e.g. a user property.
This causes problems with tests because you are mutating global state - we
tried this before, and changed to `SimpleLazyObject` because of this
problem.
2. Using `lazy` - doesn't work because you don't know the type of user. It
could be a third party class returned by a custom authentication backend.
So I'm going to resolve as WONTFIX for now, but anyone with bright ideas
for fixing this is welcome to re-open.
