Comment:

 The current docs (introduced in [6564]) might create an impression that
 `wp_insert_user()` and `wp_update_user()` are somewhat interchangeable.
 Related: #16731.

 We should make it clear that `wp_insert_user()` should only be used for
 inserting a new user, and `wp_update_user()` should be used for updating
 an existing user.

 [attachment:25745.patch] removes some comments along the lines of [24345].
