Comment (by crazycoolcam):

 Thanks for asking Daniel,

 The main use for this would be to check against a list of usernames I
 would like to ban/block, such as: 'admin', 'root', 'test', 'user',
 'guest', etc. and not allow them to register at all.

 Some of my sites run buddypress, which uses wp_insert_user and not the
 login/?action=register action, and others may have users who have
 permission to add users but who I would not want adding users with these
 names.

 Does this make sense, and/or am I missing a really plain method of
 rejecting usernames for processes that don't use login/?action=register
 error checks?

 Thanks for your help.
 ~Cam
