 When using post-related meta caps in core, we should use their meta cap
 name instead of manually digging into the post object looking for the cap.

 e.g.

 Do this:

 {{{
 if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ) {
   // ...
 }
 }}}

 Instead of this:

 {{{
 $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type( $post_id ) );
 if ( ! current_user_can( $post_type->cap->edit_post, $post_id ) ) {
   // ...
 }
 }}}

 Our meta caps resolve custom caps for the meta caps (if someone has been
 foolish enough to use them), and we should be consistent about doing it
 that way so people know that's the right way to do it.
