Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:2 sc0ttkclark]:
 > Right, in the case of Multisite, this function would return true only if
 the user was that specific role.

 From my testing, it's vice versa, that's only the case on single site.

 > {{{
 > Do not pass a role name to current_user_can(), as this is not guaranteed
 to work correctly.
 > }}}

 Looking at the page history, seems that the sentence was also added
 because of #20824.
