 Replying to [comment:39 helen]:
 > I wonder if we could add a clearer error message underneath when
 WP_DEBUG is on.

 This is my exact thought, since we could handle this without losing the
 personality here.

 Something like...

 {{{
 if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
     $message .= '<p>' . sprintf( __( "Psst, <code>%s</code> does not have
 the <code>%s</code> capability." ), $user, $cap ) . '</p>';
 }
 }}}

 Alternatively, we could also do it in a less specific way for all users:
 {{{
 $message .= '<p>' . __( "Psst, you don't have permission to access this
 page." ) . '</p>';
 }}}

 I'm definitely -1 on showing the actual permission name though for non-
 debug, as we don't expose these anywhere (roles are our user-facing
 abstraction for these).
