Displaying "Username" on the Manul Enrolments page (2.6)

I'd like to see users' usernames in addition to thier firstname, lastname, and email address on the page where teachers can manually enroll students.   Our usernames contain information that isn't available in the First/Lastname and Email address that will be helpful in determining, for example, which student is which for students with identical common first and last names.

I had figured out how to get this to display in 1.9, but haven't been able to track it down in Moodle 2 yet.  Can anyone point me to the correct file or line(s) that I should be working with to add that field to this screen? 

Thanks!

This is not officially supported, so you cannot select username under Show user identity on Admin -> Users -> Permissions -> User policies.

However, if you define it in config.php, like

$CFG->showuseridentity = 'email,idnumber,username';

then it works.
