 The get_users() function only searches 'user_login' and 'user_nicename'
 (when searching for a user by name). There is no way to search users by
 their display name. Including 'display_name' would make searching with
 get_users() much more intuitive, since in my experience users tend to be
 known by their display name and not necessarily their login. In theory I
 could do a meta_query for fields such as first and last name, but I can't
 find an easy way to query 'display_name' since it is not on the 'usermeta'
 table.
