XF 2.2 Any way to bypass usernameValidation programmatically?

[Andy R]

Example:

        $user->email = $email;

        $user->username = $username;

        $user->save();

I want to bypass the option to check if the username has disallowed text, set in the options area. Any way to do this?

$user->setOption('admin_edit', true);

Perfect. Thanks!
