 It should be possible, that is, by calling a simple function, to create a
 new user object that sort of extends a previous object. (Also admin'ing
 roles should be in the admin pages.) As in, someone on the forums wanted
 to create a new type of user to access the private part of the forums, he
 wanted a new user type and presumably he wants them to have at least the
 same capabilities as members. So he should be able to say,

 {{{
 add_extending_role($role, $extends, $additional_caps, $display_name);
 }}}

 and get a new user role that's exactly the same as a Member but it has
 those additional capabilities.
