class User(base.ModelWithFieldAttributes):
  """A user and associated login credentials, the fundamental identity entity.

  User is a separate Model class from Person because the same login 
  ID may be used to, for example, serve as Contributor in one Program 
  and a Reviewer in another.

  Also, this allows a Person to, in the future, re-associate that 
  Person entity with a different Google Account if necessary.

  A User entity participates in the following relationships implemented 
  as a db.ReferenceProperty elsewhere in another db.Model:

   persons)  a 1:many relationship of Person entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'persons' back-reference
     Query of the Person model 'user' reference.
     
   documents)  a 1:many relationship of Document entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'user' back-reference
     Query of the Document model 'user' reference.

   groups)  a 1:many relationship of Group entities "founded" by the User.
     This relation is implemented as the 'groups' back-reference Query of
     the Group model 'founder' reference.

   responses)  a 1:many relationship of Reponse entities submitted by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'responses' back-reference
     Query of the Response model 'respondent' reference.
