Comment (by ryanscheuermann):

 What's the status of this ticket?  Is the metacaps.diff going to be
 committed?  +1 to the latest patch, btw, I like the array method much
 better, less messy.

 If I understand correctly, this patch and plugin will prevent an "Editor"
 with the "edit_users" ability from editing anything about an
 "Administrator", correct?  It will also allow an "Editor" to create a user
 of an equal or lesser role?  If so, this is exactly what I'm looking for.
 Thank you.

 The create_users and delete_users capabilities are going away now, I hope.
 As it stands in trunk, they are completely redundant/useless caps
 with/without edit_users.

 I smell a new version of Roles Manager.  Maybe the introduction of a new
 "edit_roles" cap?
