Comment:

 I updated the codex page.

 From WP_User::has_cap():

 {{{
                 // Multisite super admin has all caps by definition,
 Unless specifically denied.
                 if ( is_multisite() && is_super_admin( $this->ID ) ) {
                         if ( in_array('do_not_allow', $caps) )
                                 return false;
                         return true;
                 }
 }}}

 `current_user_can('contributor')` usually works only because role names
 are mangled up with capability names. We should update the inline docs.
