Comment (by dd32):

 > > get_userdata used to return the data part of the user object in 3.2.1
 > That is incorrect. In 3.2 and before, get_userdata() returned all the
 user fields mixed with user metadata

 Just to clarify that, Yes, The return value has changed, a WP_User object
 is returned instead of a dumb object. However, through the usage of magic
 methods, data fields (such as the meta key rich_editing),
 {{{get_userdata(1)->rich_editing}}} will map to
 {{{get_userdata(1)->data->rich_editing}}}, even though in a var_dump() or
 similar will not show these extra fields.. So you shouldn't need to use
 the code in comment:4 as it should just work (Side note: The code in
 comment:4 will actually break, in the sense that it will not include the
 meta fields, it'll only contain the user row data)
