Comment (by dlh):

 A singular capability for managing individual options seems to me like a
 great enhancement. However, I'm not sure I understand the behavior of the
 filter in [attachment:43210.diff], if I'm following it correctly.

 It's described as filtering "whether the user is allowed to manage an
 option." But if the value of `$allowed` is filtered to `true`, the user
 isn't necessarily allowed to manage the option, as they still need
 `manage_options`. If the value of `$allowed` is `false`, the user isn't
 necessarily blocked from managing the option, at least in the way they
 would be with `do_not_allow`. Instead, they just need another capability.
