Comment:

 Slating this for 3.1 Initial thoughts:

  - Opt-in automagic meta capability handling, the way core does it.

  - Splitting capability_type based on what appears to be two different
 functionalities -- re-routing in map_meta_cap, but also controlling the
 defaults for the capabilities array. That way we're splitting the default
 naming of the capabilities array from this remapping. Only if we can do
 this in a back compat way. Ideas welcome.

  - Allowing capability_type to take an array() such as `array( 'box',
 'boxes' )`, to handle odd plurals.
