Comment (by ringmaster):

 Perhaps set this as a goal:

 `Modify meta caps so that a plugin can alter edit_user to re-institute
 user levels for editing other users' caps.`

 To that end, I agree with markjaquith's sentiment in the previous comment,
 as long as no user-level functions are added to the core, and no
 heirarchical functions for user permissions be added to the core.
 Anything not like what we already have should be implemented through a
 plugin.

 Here's an raw idea:  Can we add a hook to the default case in the meta cap
 function's switch to handle other cases, rather than adding all of these
 individually?
