 * If I want to create a plugin that took the default arguments for this function(
   found in **users.php**) wp_dropdown_users() and sets them to something different,
   how would I go about doing that? Would it be a filter or an add action?
 * Specifically I need to change:
 *     ```
       'show' => 'display_name',
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       'show' => 'user_login',
       ```
   
 * in the **$defaults** array. I’m sure this is really simple, I just can’t get 
   the arguments to pass through my function in the plugin correctly.
 * Thank you!
