If possible, how does one get the logged-in user for use in a scripted macro in Confluence?

This is specifically a ScriptRunner for Confluence scripted macro, not a native Confluence custom macro.

Oops, discovered it on my own by digging into the baked-in Locked Content Macro's code. For anyone else looking for this, I found:

import com.atlassian.confluence.user.AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal

currentUser = AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.get()

Which returns as a ConfluenceUser.
