The reason I didn't recommend your approach is because the user slugs
are user definable. What if I wanted to call myself "6"? (I am not a
number...) You have to set a restriction on user slugs to include a
non digit character so as not to create issues. Your user slugs are
restrictive in that NO numbers could be used which would prevent me
from using my semi-common alias, gr66nman. But either solution is
viable, it's just important to be aware of the restrictions in doing
so.
