Default entity view for User should show user name

If you create a view of Nodes, Comments, or Taxonomy terms, and choose the Entity option for your row display (instead of Fields), you get a rendered entity that includes the title/subject/name of the entity with a link to the entity.

However, if you try the same for a User view, you will see just the "Member for" information and any custom fields you have added. No user name, no user ID, nothing identifying the user and no link to the user page.

This is not good. It makes the entity view of User in Views completely useless.
