Comment (by chriscct7):

 Replying to [comment:3 sc0ttkclark]:
 > I'd prefer `$original_user_id` for a better contextual variable name and
 for more clear filter doc purposes.

 While I like the additional context it should be noted that we don't have
 any variable naming precedent for that for old userids like we do with
 $old_value, and also some people might not like having such a long
 variable name passed into a filter, particularly if they use a code editor
 or styling preference that limits the screen width, to say, 80 characters.
