No please read the manual again, its described as a user option, from
the manual:

Here are the legal user options:

Keyword            Opt   Mode   Function
-------------------------------------------------------------------
user[name]         -u           Set remote user name  (local  user
                                name if name followed by 'here')
is                              Connect   local  and  remote  user
                                names
to                              Connect  local  and  remote   user
                                names
pass[word]                      Specify remote account password
ssl                             Connect  to server over the speci-
                                fied  base  protocol   using   SSL
                                encryption
So I am closing this bug (btw: this would be imho a minor bug).
Kind regards
Nico
