 The WordPress function wp_delete_user() has an optional value $reassign.

 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/users/#delete-a-user

 While the same functionality inside the API has a required value
 $reassign.

 This is inconsistent. Is this for a special reason? If so please explain.
 Or was this simply overlooked while programming.
