StaticMethod mapLogin2cUID ($login) -> $cUID

 
Changed:
<
<		This function ensures that any cUID's are able to be used for rcs, and other internals not capable of coping with user identifications that contain more than 7 bit ascii.
>
>		This function maps an arbitrary string into a valid cUID. The transformation is reversible, but the function is not idempotent (a cUID passed to this function will NOT be returned unchanged). The generated cUID will be unique for the given login name.
 
Changed:
<
<		repeated calls must result in the same result (sorry, can't spell the word for it)so the '_' must not be re-encoded

>		This static function is designed to be called from custom user mappers that support 1:1 login-to-cUID mappings.

Returns undef if the user does not exist.

ObjectMethod isGroup ($user) -> boolean

Establish if a user refers to a group or not.

The default implementation is to check if the wikiname of the user ends with 'Group'. Subclasses may override this behaviour to provide alternative interpretations. The $TWiki::cfg{SuperAdminGroup} is recognized as a group no matter what it's name is.
