Comment (by markjaquith):

 As much as I want this, I agree with 2.2 milestone.  Convoluted?  No, it's
 simplicity!  simple user2cap relationship table.  If you want convolution,
 you'd stick capabilities and roles into a serialized usermeta array so
 that cap2user requires unserializing each user's cap/role array, figuring
 out which are roles and which are capabilities, mapping capabilities from
 the roles to the capabilities that the role has, and then searching each
 user's capabilities array (at a huge memory cost) to see who has the
 specified capability.  You know, like we're currently doing. :-)
