Comment:

 Thanks for the initiative. In full respect of the close and honoring the
 fact that the current patch already improves the named topic, I gently re-
 open this ticket because of some minor stuff:

 It's only a small issue, but following the PHP 4 related wordpress coding
 practices, the change makes no use of &new here which is common to prevent
 object clones on PHP4 installs.

 I've added a patch that is reflecting this _really_ minor thing ($user is
 a local variable, so the copy here is limited to one per call until the
 garbage collector removes it again).

 If it's considered to ignore the {{{&new}}} here, I could greatly
 appreciate that. For such alternative case, I've attached a second view on
 the function.

 The second view might me interesting for the &new case as well but it
 needs some changes then.

 Let me know if I should open a new ticket instead of re-opening this one.

 As this ticket is about refactoring that function I thought it's worth to
 add some view. Becasue this is all minor I didn't want to clutter trac
 with a new ticket as there was already one.

 A related question: Why don't we add a {{{is_super_admin()}}} function to
 the user class?
