Well my main idea for a "use case" was the example as given with
gitolite.

Another one may be when user names are migrated on the remote side, so
that the old ones are still valid as legacy names or so.

The feature simply seems a "natural" counterpart to what we have with
"HostName" and "User" on the client side.



As for the security:
What you write only addresses the SSH part itself, right?
I rather wondered: Are there client side and/or server side
applications, which assume that the specified user name during login is
actually the one which is taken on the remote side (*if* login
succeeds).
