fetch_only capability on get_user would be very helpful from a security perspective, limiting access to more sensitive fields but still being able to store them in the user row would be a significant improvement.
get_user returns a live object without accelerated tables turned off, but is returning something completely different with it turned on, accessing something like user["email"] returns an error TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str with it turned on, breaking a lot of my code.
