/**
* Returns the user array that creates the user dropdown in the authors metabox.
*
* Developer note: Using array_merge was reordering the array keys, causing the keys,
* which signified the user id, to cause the plugin to assign incorrect authors.
* This copying of arrays by brute force ensures that the order of elements and the
* numbering of keys is retained.
*
* @param bool|integer|string $user_ids A user ID, or login, or an array of such
* @param bool $existing_only If true, returns only existing users in a flat array. Otherwise, returns a structure with additional data.
* @param bool $login_names If true, will return an array where keys are login names. Otherwise, the keys will be IDs. Values are the login names regardless.
* @since 2.0
