Core enhancement: User display name
#1
I am considering adding display name support for users to core.

This is a non security sensitive, non userid info field for a user to be used for public display, such as author, or updated by or logged in user etc. without worrying about exposing login credentials.

I think renaming username to userid would be wise, but it will cause confusion, so it will not change.

The new user field will simply be "name" or "displayname"

See attached image for settings example ( not a mockup )

Feedback welcome

Are there any core functions you guys know of that we need to add this field to or perhaps helpers like getusersname() etc.
