 I'm 99% sure this doesn't exist in core. Also I think it's related, but
 very very far from the original topic of this ticket, which is about
 controlling which taxonomies users can interact with based on
 capabilities, not which posts they can interact with based on terms.


 Also, I'll quickly react to @helen's changes to make this minor and a
 feature request: Do you really think it's not a bug that the capability
 args are totally non-functional within this system? Current behavior is
 incoherent, that's a bug to me.
