1. The private key authenticates the user on certain areas of
   SemanticScuttle - currently only on the RSS feeds. No other area.
2. To be able to use the service methods required for private RSS
   feeds, we need to register the user identified by the private key as
   the current user.
3. The current user is stored in the session
4. To restrict privatekey access to the RSS feeds only, we need to
   unregister the current user after the feed has been generated.
5. If the script crashes during RSS generation, the user does not get
   unregistered/unset. This means that the user will be still logged in
   and can access all areas although he originally only had the private
   key.

So we need to decouple the current user from the session storage.
