 Changeset [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/43137 43137] added a
 `who=authors` parameter to the `list users` endpoint.

 When that parameter is present,
 `WP_REST_Users_Controller::get_items_permissions_check()` checks that the
 current user has the capability to `edit_posts` for at least 1 post type
 that has `show_in_rest = true` and supports author.  That check loops
 through **all** post types with `show_in_rest = true`.

 A minor performance improvement could be had by breaking out of that loop
 as soon one post type is found that meets the requirements.
