Most of the time, get_full_name() returns only first name and last name,
and many a times, if first name and last name is not present, we need at
least the email or the username to be returned to the template.
get_display_name() returns the email if there is no get_full_name(); and
if no email, then fallback to username. I find get_display_name more
pragmatic than the proposed get_full_name, when it comes to showing user
details in templates.
