Comment:

 I was going to create a new ticket for this, but figured that since the
 class is being worked on, it makes sense just to bring this up here. One
 issue to watch for with the role search (which is tricky because we're
 doing a LIKE search through a serialized array). If I run the following
 code:

 {{{
 add_role('edit', 'edit');
 $u = new WP_User_Search('', '', 'edit');
 print_r($u->get_results());
 }}}

 ...it will return all users with the "Editor" role (and any user with an
 edit_* cap). It's sort of an edge case, but likely should still be patched
 (until the role system is revamped, at least). Best option I see (for now)
 is to wrap the role term in double quotes (since that's how strings vars
 in arrays seem to be serialized).
