         *
         * Previously, this function generated a DB error due to a key conflict
         * if the user already existed. Many extension callers use this function
         * in code along the lines of:
         *
         *   $user = User::newFromName( $name );
         *   if ( !$user->isLoggedIn() ) {

         *   }
         *   // do something with $user...
         *
         * However, this was vulnerable to a race condition (bug 16020). By
         * initialising the user object if the user exists, we aim to support this
         * calling sequence as far as possible.
         *
         * Note that if the user exists, this function will acquire a write lock,
         * so it is still advisable to make the call conditional on isLoggedIn(),
         * and to commit the transaction after calling.
