Comment:

 [attachment:"44672.2.diff"] is a different approach that is more aligned
 with the check performed in `edit_user()`. `email_exists()` is a case
 insensitive lookup.

 I also added a test to ensure a user cannot change their email to one that
 is assigned to another user if the casing is changed.
