 Something I'd like to see implemented in a future version is the ability
 to use this type of code to update single values for a user

 {{{
 $display_name = get_user_meta($userid,'display_name',true);
 $email = get_user_meta($userid,'user_email',true);
 $newemail = 'my at email.com';
 update_user_meta($userid,'user_email',$newemail);
 }}}

 I'd like to see this be possible for the following fields:

 user_login
 user_pass
 user_nicename
 user_email
 user_url
 user_registered
 display_name

 Patch to come this week..
