  * keywords:  usermeta => usermeta, users


Comment:

 sojweb and I both tried solving this from different angles. I'm attaching
 a patch that basically adopts all the *_post_meta() functions for user
 meta and maintains backwards compatibility by calling the new
 *_user_meta() functions from within the old *_usermeta() functions.

 Why make such a large change? Because post meta and user meta are just too
 similar a concept to have them work so differently, or have code that
 works so differently.
