19265	WP_User user_level property doesn't exist any more	duck_	duck_	"[18597] for #15458 removed _fill_single_user() which had the following piece of code to set up `user_level` from `$wpdb->prefix . 'user_level'`:

{{{
$level = $wpdb->prefix . 'user_level'; 
if ( isset( $user->{$level} ) ) 
    $user->user_level = $user->{$level}; 
}}}

This mapping no longer exists so `$user->user_level` yields an empty string.

This also means that the `$user_level` global isn't set correctly.
