Comment:

 In [attachment:23016.diff]:

 * Instead of removing `WP_Roles::reinit()`, deprecate it and point it to
 `WP_Roles::_init()`, instead.
 * Add documentation for `wp_roles_init`.
 * Duplicate the `$wp_roles = new WP_Roles()` behaviour in
 `restore_current_blog()`.
 * Add unit tests.

 @johnjamesjacoby, @netweb: Before committing this, I'd like to see a
 sample implementation in bbPress, to ensure it does the job.
