Comment (by quickshiftin):

 Hmm, good to know.

 It does feel a bit lop-sided reading from custom fields, but not storing
 to them.  To me the simple `update_user_meta` feels appropriate, but a
 batch write would be nice.  It would have to read any fields that were set
 but not yet read, but perhaps the read could also be batched.

 Another neat idea for it would be to call it in the destructor so client
 code could just assume the write will be done automatically.

 Thanks for looking at it.
