 The problem with this approach (correct me if I am wrong) is that I do not
 want `'manage_options'` to map to `'manage_network'` in all places since
 there are many places WordPress (as well as plugins) uses
 `'manage_options'`. The desired effect is to be able to remove access to a
 particular options page without impacting anything else (more desirable
 would be to remove individual options on some pages rather than the entire
 page, but that's a story for another day ;) ).
