 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /**
  * Retrieve user info by user ID.
  *
  * @since 4.5
  *
  * @param int $user_id User ID
  *
  * @return WP_User|false WP_User object on success, false on failure.

 function get_user( $user_id ) {
         return get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );
 }
 }}}

 Works like get_userdata but meets the standards of get_{object_type} we've
 put forth in get_post( $id ) / get_term( $id ) / get_comment( $id ) to
 make it easier for new developers coming into WordPress.

 I imagine at some point we could deprecate get_userdata calls, but not
 sure that should be done in the same release this is introduced.
