Document that test.client.RequestFactory doesn't support sessions or request-altering middleware
Since #15736 has been closed "wontfix", I think it could be classified as a documentation problem:
the RequestFactory docs at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#the-request-factory
make it sound like RequestFactory().get() creates a request that is equivalent to that used by TestClient.get().
But this is not true - TestClient goes out of its way to handle django.contrib.session, and loads middleware; RequestFactory does neither - and based on the response to #15736 that's by design.
So that should be explicit in the docs.
