--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When using `who=>authors` in user query it silently overrides `meta_key`,
 `meta_value`, and `meta_compare` arguments.

 Among other things this makes it impossible to `orderby=>meta_value` such
 query, since it orders by that key.

 This behavior is neither explicitly documented or desirable.
