Comment:

 @tlovett1 Thanks for the patch.

 It passes the current unit tests for the ''user'' group.

 I will mark that this will need ''unit tests'', if this goes forward.

 Regarding the use cases, I can imagine this would be mostly used to
 override the search query of {{{WP_User_Query}}}, both front and backend?

 I wonder if this could affect other processes?  I don't think
 {{{WP_User_Query}}} is used during the login progress, but one could e.g.
 test what happens if {{{WP_User_Query}}} returns no users at all, during
 login.

 ps: It seems that {{{posts_pre_query}}} was introduced to {{{WP_Query}}}
 ticket #36687.
