Comment:

 Updated patch corrects docs formatting and moves the function into
 `user.php`. There's no particular need to make use of this immediately; we
 can do that over time, as there's no functional difference between using
 this and the existing `get_user_by()`. This is mostly going to serve
 developers by providing a more natural and obvious path, similar to all
 other getter functions.

 In my opinion, there's no reason not to commit this, and it's about time.
 It's actually identical to the pluggable function `get_userdata()`, but
 more intuitive.
