 > If you change the behaviour, you'll break lots of existing code

 If you take a look at the patch, the only code that will break, looking at
 the patch, are those passing the fields parameter as one of the following,
 and expecting back a list of user_id's, a broken assumption and code to
 start with..
 `array( 'ID', 'user_login', 'user_pass', 'user_nicename', 'user_email',
 'user_url', 'user_registered', 'user_activation_key', 'user_status',
 'display_name' )`
