I even once heard people complaining about the function being too long, z_Z.
Normally you don't need it often though, use the account name for identification. You might need it if you want to search for players by name, but then you also need to check for nick names.
I only see problems with very old scripts, e.g. you make a bank and remember the amount stored with accountname=amount (or you remember the members of a gang or so), and then when you want to display all accounts to a player then you don't know the nick name or community name. For that case it's better to remember more information about the player (amount, nickname, last bank usage time etc.).
The community name is more like a registered nick name which enables you to use '*Stefan' as nick name.
