 While I certainly don't like `POST wp/v2/users?email=<existing-email-
 address>` to handle this, I think it would be best if we could figure out
 a proper way to allow adding existing users through the same endpoint.
 This would provide parity with user removal (from a site), as it also
 happens through the same endpoint that is used to delete a user
 (entirely).

 > However, this still seems like a fairly uncommon use case compared to
 other user management tasks and should be fine to be addressed later on.

 Not sure if we should postpone that decision, as I don't consider it an
 uncommon use-case. In the admin there's UI to add an existing user which
 is just as prominent as creating a new user and adding them.
