Comment(by F J Kaiser):

 Hi Denis, english is not my mother tongue and i´m no programmer. And i´m
 sorry if i confused you. And yes, i did miss the_authoter_meta().

 Indeed, the_author_meta() makes a lot of things better, because you got
 only one function that can bring you every field you got or add. So 3) is
 solved.

 What´s left are 1) and 2). Both are feature requests that would add
 functionality to the admin UI. Offering the ability to rename the IM-
 fields-labels in the UI (and DB) with for e.g. a button would be 1).
 Making a button at the bottom of an admin-"single user edit page" to add
 custom input fields would be 2). As far as i understood, the_author_meta()
 function could retrieve every data added there. Did i describe my feature
 request better now?

 If you want to set it to invalid or close, just do it. I don´t know how to
 close a ticket.
