You can set $USER the same way, you know?
But that's a wrong way to go. IMO.
You are supposed to be yourself, means, your login name.
Else you'd have alot of stuff mishandled.

But the change is indeed good.
I hope that would solve the user/group encoding issues when using terminals
with different charset.
