New description:

 Wordpress let's you define custom table prefixes and totally custom names
 for the users table (and therefore user meta table). I guess this is done
 to enable multiple blogs to share a userbase, but why stop here?

 Please consider to give users the ability to choose names for all tables
 completely by themselves if they want to. You can't estimate what a user
 tries to achieve with this and therefore only custom user table names is
 quite limiting and inconsistent.

 Please also see this ticket: #7008

 The only way to accomplish custom table names besides user tables is to
 patch wpdb.php which causes headaches on updates.
