The #else branch says "username" because, in that preprocessor codepath,
the argument to the (u) globqual is resolvable if it's numeric (a uid)
but not if it's a username.

The #if branch says "user" because that's what it said before the patch.
I guess I'll change it unless someone sees a reason to preserve the
exact error message.

Cheers,

Daniel
