@---+ Package =TWiki::User=
A User object is an internal representation of a user in the real world.
The object knows about users having login names, wiki names, personal
topics, and email addresses.
%TOC%
Groups are also handled here. A group is really a subclass of a user,
in that it is a user with a set of users within it.
The User package also provides methods for managing the passwords of the
user.
---++ ClassMethod *new* <tt>($session,$loginname,$wikiname)</tt>
Construct a new user object for the given login name, wiki name.
The wiki name can either be a wiki word or it can be a web-

user is assumed to have their home topic in the
$TWiki::cfg{UsersWebName} web.
