 In [changeset:"34947"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="34947"
 Allow a null `id` to do a `name` lookup in `wp_set_current_user()`.

 Previously, the `name` fallback was failing in the case where the current
 user
 was 0, due to a loose comparison between 0 (the current user) and `null`
 (the
 value that is used to trigger the `name` fallback).

 Props bobbingwide.
 Fixes #20845.
