*nod* though I guess I expect that in ~any application, you're going to
want to extend the model classes from your app, so saying that your user
class needs to use J:P:Login::ModelMixins::User feels like it might be
right.  I'm not SURE though.

*nod* The second half makes sense, but tying it to a class named User
makes me a bit sad..but if that's the next step to get us closer to
usable, so be it.
