Comment:

 It would need to be implemented in both `wp_insert_user()` and
 `wp_update_user()`, so that we expose the password of new users, too.

 I wonder if this would be better as a filter? That way, a plugin (say, a
 password strength enforcement plugin) could return a `WP_Error` if the
 password is unacceptable, which can be returned to the calling function.
