Comment (by markjaquith):

 doit-cu,

 Would want it to be two caps, so that someone could grant the
 edit_less_capable_users cap to other users!  Quis Custodiet Ipsos
 Custodes? :-)

 Ryan,
 Patch is a good start, but we'll also need to know what is being done to
 the user on a finer level.. i.e. "changing this user's role to X" or
 "Adding/Removing Capability Y"

 so maybe:

 {{{
 current_user_can('edit_user', $id, 'add_capability', 'manage_options')

 OR

 current_user_can('edit_user', $id, 'set_role', 'Author')
 }}}

 Then a plugin could hook in and grab all those extra args and make an
 educated decision on whether or not the user is allowed to do that.
