Comment:

 krogsgard's [attachment:31251.patch] includes unit tests and inline docs.

 The patch looks good if we're agreed that we want to change the default
 behavior of 'show'. Passing `show=display_name` will work as before, but
 omitting 'show' (which covers 99% of the cases I've seen) will now show
 the new format `Display Name (user_login)`. A scan of the plugins
 directory shows that dozens and dozens of plugins are using
 `wp_dropdown_users()` with the default value of 'show', and many appear to
 be using it on the front-end.
