We're slowly moving our code base over to async views and tests. Django
5.0 is a big leap forward for this, but we've found that there's still no
async version of the @login_required decorator.

We're working around it with some funky decorator usage:

{{{
@sync_to_async
@login_required
@async_to_sync
async def our_view(request):
}}}

Buuuut, it'd be great not to need to do all this and to either have an
async version of login_required (@alogin_required, perhaps?) or for it to
just work with async views.

I don't think there's an open issue for this, but amusingly, in
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31949#comment:27 a comment 11
months ago], Carlton Gibson touched on making login_required work with
async, but he thought it'd take another five years. Perhaps we can do
better. :)
