Comment:

 I've added a new file which contains a test setting the user by name with
 ID=null.

 There seems little point in adding tests for setting it by a numeric ID,
 since this is already implicit in many other tests.

 In the future, for completeness, there should be tests with non-null/0
 values of both ID AND name; to demonstrate that name is trumped by ID.
 e.g. wp_set_current_user( "admin", "bobbingwide" ); will return the
 "admin" user.
