 Maybe this isn't a bug and is intentional, but current_user_can('editor')
 fails for admins. current_user_can('contributor') fails for editor. And so
 on. Now, for some even stranger reason, it succeeds on one production blog
 of mine (all higher roles "can" a lower role). That is the functionality I
 want and that makes sense to me for the built-ins. Is that what should
 happen? If so, then this is a bug, and if not my apologies.
