 retrieve all the post types to build up a menu (always wishful thinking
 for our mobile apps). I will create a ticket for the REST API to look into
 this too. They return get_post_types() which also generates the same
 problems.

 a request to your user information (`GET /users/me`) which simply returns
 `$user->allcaps`.

 And then "no filters are run, nor would map_meta_cap() get a chance to do
 its magic." right?
