(* This module provides generic user authentication functionality, backed by
 * OpenID authentication.  Each account (named with a short alphanumeric string)
 * is associated with one or more OpenID identifiers, any of which may be used
 * to log in as that user.  This module provides all the code you need to sign
 * users up, log them in, and check which user is logged in.
