 Since WP 3.2, you can do this:

 {{{
 $users = get_users( array(
   'meta_query' => array(
     'relation' => 'OR',
     array(
       'key' => 'foo',
     ),
     array(
       'key' => 'bar',
     ),
   )
 ) );
 }}}

 which is great, except you can end up with a lot of duplicate users.

 There's no straightforward way to tell WP_User_Query to add a distinct
 clause.

 Sure, you can do this:

 {{{
 add_action( 'pre_user_query', function( $user_query ) {
   $user_query->query_fields = 'DISTINCT ' . $user_query->query_fields;
 } );
 }}}

 but the query that populates {{{$user_query->total_users}}} will ignore
 that.
