Comment (by raisonon):

 I would suggest extending this to allow the current logged in user to
 change their own username too.

 I'll outline the use case I'm currently coding:

 Front end profile settings page. User can amend their first name, last
 name, email and password from this page.

 We are using email as a username, as is standard practice.

 In this instance, a user should be able to change their email/username
 themselves. Currently, this is disallowed.

 Ideally using:

 {{{
 wp_update_user()
 }}}


 Hope ok to tag this onto this thread, rather than creating another ticket.
