If we add an API hook in lib-sessions then it can be up to the authetication 
function. In our case, we do want the user added as we need to admin the 
users to grant them plugin or site access rights.

That's the interesting bit: Would it work without adding the
authenticated user to the DB? I'm wondering if we really want to add all
these users.

Of course, we would have to extend the comments table to store the name
of the poster, but there's a feature request for that anyway ...
