+            ``TemplateResponse`` uses :class:`~django.template.RequestContext`
+            which  means that callables defined in
+            :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` may overwrite template
+            variables defined in your views. For example, if you subclass
+            :class:`DetailView <django.views.generic.detail.DetailView>` and
+            set ``context_object_name`` to ``user``, the
+            ``django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth`` context processor
+            will happily overwrite your variable with current user.
+
         If you need custom template loading or custom context object
         instantiation, create a ``TemplateResponse`` subclass and assign it to
         ``response_class``.
