acl_users fails if an object named 'user' exists

[Florent Guillaume]

If an object named 'user' exists alongside a user folder, the editUser.dtml page fails to display:

Request URL http://localhost:8080/acl_users/manage_users
     * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish
     * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
     * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object
     * Module AccessControl.User, line 939, in manage_users
     * Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 306, in __call__
     * Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec
     * Module App.special_dtml, line 175, in _exec
     * Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 198, in eval
       __traceback_info__: user
     * Module <string>, line 0, in ?
 AttributeError: name

This is due to references to user.name in the DTML.

I have attached a patch.

I'd rather just change the DTML. Subclasses of User may want to call the same template with original semantics and would fail. Or some overloaded template would be surprised to receive user__...

I agree with efge that the patch is not the recommended way to fix such issues.
