Comment:

 This would be ok, as long as the behaviour of `edit_post_link()` is not
 changed. But, looking at wp-includes/link-template.php, it seems the
 capabilities check is only done in `get_edit_post_link()`.

 Unless the capabilities check is moved over to `edit_post_link()` this
 change will pollute sites with unnecessary Edit links, even for anonymous
 users.

 Or am I missing something?
