Comment:

 I've added a patch for 2.1 to fix this. The patch adds a
 {{{nicename_exists()}}} function, which relies on another function I just
 added: {{{get_userdatabynicename()}}}. This function works the exact same
 way as {{{get_userdatabylogin()}}} however it checks {{{user_nicename}}},
 which is always derived from {{{sanitize_title ( user_login ) }}}.

 {{{get_userdatabynicename()}}} does not currently use any caching. I could
 change that, but I think that is better suited for 2.2 where caching has
 been fixed up a bit.
