Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 so, basically, the consensus is:

  - drop multi-role support
  - drop user-cap support
  - single-role on users
  - drop true|false thingy on has _cap|hsn't_cap (use role stuff instead)
  - make it so that user roles can be queried easily (we'd use a meta field
 with the role's key here)

 leaving this open for a week or two without touching it, so that sam can
 take a look if needs be.
