#2421: No apparent way to implement "remember me" into a login form

Currently the default repoze.who implementation keeps a login active
during the duration of the session. As soon as the session is closed, the
auth info is lost. Having a "remember me" checkbox is a common option on
logins to keep the auth information longer than the duration of the
session. This way the login can be skipped during later visits.
When trying to implement this for a client today, I spent several hours
digging around for an optimal solution before finally throwing an
embarrassingly terrible monkey-patch into the repose.who auth_tkt plugin
file.
Can a solution for this please be documented or implemented? Perhaps
there's a way to use base_config.sa_auth.form_plugin to inject the
"identity" object with a max_age parameter, but I simply could not figure
it out or find a helpful lead on it.
Gustavo added this capability to repoze.who several months ago, but I am
unsure how it could be implemented on the TG side of things. For reference
please see Gustavo's post here:

I would be more than happy to write documentation on this if a clear
solution was available.
Thank you,
Seth
