Ah. I see. That explains why I've got a user named "k" in the file when
I tried the username "d:k".
It does not explain why I do not get the registration mail for that user
even after dokuwiki says the mail has been sent successfully (I checked,
no typos in the mail address). The only explanation I've got is that
some code still tries to send it to the original user as it was before
cleanID(), but still, it should not say that the mail was successfully sent.
Hmm, I think I need to delve further into that.
