Bug ID: 46255
Summary: User.php : please add a public function isUser( $user
) to check whether arbitrary(!) $user object is a user
i.e. has account

I was surprised, that User.php has no public function to quickly check whether
an arbitrary $user object is a user (with acccount).
After asking around, I implemented such a function locally in E:OpenID where
that is needed:
private static function isUser( $user ) {
return ( $user ) ? $user->loadFromId() : false;
}
but suggest you core developers add a proper function to the core.
see

If you are of a distinct opinion, or have a better idea, pls. let me know, or
even close the bug. I just wanted to mention, that core lacks such a function,
which can be of general use elsewhere.
