Detailed Description

Object holding data about a session's user.

In general, this class exists for two purposes:

• User doesn't distinguish between "anonymous user" and "non-anonymous user that doesn't exist locally", while we do need to.
• We also need the "verified" property described below; tracking it via another data item to SessionInfo's constructor makes things much more confusing.

A UserInfo may be "verified". This indicates that the creator knows that the request really comes from that user, whether that's by validating OAuth credentials, SSL client certificates, or by having both the user ID and token available from cookies.

An "unverified" UserInfo should be used when it's not possible to authenticate the user, e.g. the user ID cookie is set but the user Token cookie isn't. If the Token is available but doesn't match, don't return a UserInfo at all.
