How do I customize the name of the shadow database by including the user's credentials?

I would like to customize the shadow DB configuration, and have used the <project_name>.sqlproj.user file to do so. But since multiple developers might be using the tool and working in the same database, I would like to include the developers username in the name of the shadow database, like "ProjectName_imackenzie_shadow". This is consistent with the default naming convention.

<ShadowConnectionString>Data Source=SERVER\INSTANCE;Initial Catalog=ProjectName_$(username)_shadow;Integrated Security=True</ShadowConnectionString>
