/**
 * The purpose of this file is to allow the user to switch roles and be redirected
 * back to the page that they were on.
 *
 * This functionality is also supported in {@link /course/view.php} in order to comply
 * with backwards compatibility.
 * The reason that we created this file was so that user didn't get redirected back
 * to the course view page only to be redirected again.
 *
 * @since Moodle 2.0
 * @package course
