I think it is outside the scope. User management done right is a whole library all by it self.
Take LDAP for example, everyone uses LDAP differently, There are a lot of different permutations when it comes to reading users, let alone writing users. Then you could think about the JDBC realm, which again is going to have a similar problem. Then you could get into the complexity of name structure ( first + last vs multiple names<http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/>) That said, I know (having been there before) there is a need for a simple version of this logic which includes things like: new user registration, easy way to get the users name, change password, reset password, etc. Where something like this fits, I am not sure, but I have a feeling there are other opinions on this list.
