 > A plugin on the site defines the `wp_get_current_user()` function (as
 it's pluggable) and calls `get_currentuserinfo()` in doing so. This causes
 an infinite loop because `get_currentuserinfo()` now calls
 `wp_get_current_user()`.

 Sigh :/

 What do you think of making `get_currentuserinfo()` behave as before, i.e.
 being basically a duplicate of `wp_get_current_user()`?
