Comment (by scribu):

 I'm in the process of writing a patch that makes {{{WP_User::__get()}}}
 call get_user_meta().

 The advantage is that you don't have to duplicate all the metadata in
 {{{WP_User->data}}} anymore.

 The drawback is that using {{{$user->somefunkykey}}}, where meta_key is
 actually {{{some-funky-key}}} won't work anymore and there's no way around
 it, since you can't guess where the dashes are.

 This should be pretty rare, but let me know if it's not an acceptable
 compromise.
