13319	Code improvement in _fill_single_user(): Pass by Reference PHP 4 fixes	hakre		"Passing an array by reference does not make very much sense when it is used read only. It is read only in {{{_fill_single_user()}}} (PHP uses copy on write, not copy on read).

I think what intended was, that objects in that array (the items in there are an array of database result objects) are passed by reference so that they play nicely with PHP 4. To achieve this, care must be taken with the iterator that it does not create copies of the objects in that array of result objects there.

{{{maybe_unserialize()}}} should be safe to use since database objects meta_value's property should contain scalars only.

The same is for {{{get_user_metavalues()}}} which is not reflecting the propper iteration over the resultset.

This all then escalated up to {{{_fill_many_users()}}} which is not properly handling those results as well.

Additional to those reference related fixes, some code-cleanup has been done according to the standard.

I had no problems running this on my testbed.
