But does the username belong there? Thats also a volatile identifier,
one that is perhaps more likely to change than the uid. And the uid is
what is stored in the permissions on most filesystems actually in use,
so I think its a better choice, if you need to make a per-user unique
folder.

We can't do any scanning, that is to slow and shouldn't even be allowed
in normal cases.
