Comment:

 I think the need for this is obsolete. I refreshed the function to return
 the first role or a passed role if the user has it. But it's only
 returning the label for the role ('administrator' etc). So the function
 only returns the first role or does the equiv of a `current_user_can` -
 the TODO has been there since the beginning of time:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/user-
 edit.php?rev=10935#L251 . Moving to 3.6 so it gets used or closed.
