Feel free to extend the HTML representation for REQUEST using __str__ or the ascii represenation using text(). But for debugging purposes a collapsable tree is more unhandy than usable because clicking in a large tree takes to much time to find the informations you are looking for.

The REQUEST __str__ representation can be useful for tracking down bugs, and is a useful didactic tool for newbies. I wanted to get feedback on some ways it has occured to me that it might be improved. If it turns out to be a good idea, I'll do a fishbowl proposal (one day...)
In its simplest form, it would be nice if it were a collapsable tree, so you could examine just the bits you were interested in.
I think it would also be really handy to extend this concept, for example adding nodes to the AUTHENTICATED_USER branch, which show local roles, roles, etc. Perhaps automatically, through introspection?
