Comment (by mordauk):

 I'm not confident we should be giving plugins the power to do that so
 easily. Right now if a plugin wanted to give a user super admin rights, it
 could use the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/grant_super_admin()
 grant_super_admin()] function.

 I'd rather plugins be required to promote a user to a super admin instead
 of allowing them to simply filter the is_super_admin check.
