It works, but (a) it only affects select dropdowns in forms, not other
displays such as in the grid and read-only forms (for that, you also need
to set the "represent" attribute), and (b) you have to explicitly set the
above for every reference field that references auth_user. If you instead
use the _format method, you get the validator and the "represent" attribute
automatically for every reference field that references auth_user.
