:func:`myapp/lib/base.py:BaseController.__call__`

The incoming request arrives at the app's :class:`BaseController` and the ``session`` is examined for the presence of a value bound to ``AUTH_USER_ID``.

If found, the value stored against ``AUTH_USER_ID`` is used to index into the persistence to retrieve the corresponding :class:`User` entity which is then bound to the ``c.user`` context variable for convenience, some other convenience bindings are similarly made.

The request is dispatched according to the mapping specified in :file:`myapp/config/routing.py`
