        ### More examples:
        
        After creating an account on your website, the user needs to do some tasks before he can enter his profile. In this example adding more information and agreeing to the terms and conditions.
        
        When creating the new user you create a new property:
        
            from userproperty.utils import addProperty
        
            addProperty(request, tag='setup')
            # if the user is not saved in the request add: anUser=yourNewUser
        
        In your login view you can now have different outcomes based on the UserProperty
        
            from userproperty.utils import getIntegerProperty, setIntegerProperty, removeProperty
        
            #in your login view
        
            setupProperty = getIntegerProperty(request,'setup')
        
            if setupProperty == 1:
                #redirect, a form for adding phone number etc
            elif setupProperty == 2:
                #redirect, accepting the terms and conditions
            elif setupProperty:
                removeProperty(request, tag='setup')
        
            # stuff when no property was set
        
        The only thing left to do is setting the property to a new value when the respective actions(forms in this case) are done:
        
            from userproperty.utils import setIntegerProperty, removeProperty
        
            #in the view with the form for the phonenumer etc.
            form.is_valid():
                #do stuff
        
                setIntegerProperty(request, tag='setup', value=2)
        
                #redirect login
        
        
            #in the view for terms and conditions
            form.is_valid():
                #do stuff
        
                removeProperty(request, tag='setup')
        
                #redirect login
        
        Other examples: setup tour, saving user specific properties(number of data entries displayed in js datatables), etc.
        
        ## PEP8
        
        The functions are available in pep8 (lowercase with _ as separator between words)
        
        setIntegerProperty() ==> set_integer_property()
        
        ## Change Log
        
        ### 06/Aug/2015
        
        * Propper anonymous users handling.
        * ``decUserProperty`` and ``incUserProperty`` returns ``False`` instead of ``True`` for anonymous users or in case of errors.
