 Proper approach would be {{{$GLOBALS['current_user'] = new WP_User($id,
 $name);}}}

 up any meta in the back compat globals it maintains.


 we need setup_userdata() cause it fills the old global variable (
 $userdata ) with user's metadata

 so if we didn't call it
 and assume we have meta_key = "somemeta" and it's value was "old_value"
 and some one made

  update_usermeta( 1, "somemeta","new_value");
 then
 var_dump($userdata);

 we still get old_value
