Comment (by johnbillion):

 I just had a thought. If the result of the `current_user_can` check is
 used as the default value of the filter (instead of being used in place)
 then the filter can be used both to forcibly enable the checkbox when
 needed and to forcibly disable it when it isn't needed.

 Example:

 {{{
 $show = current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID );

 /** ... */
 if ( apply_filters( 'wp_list_table_show_post_checkbox', $show, $post ) ) :
 }}}

 @alexstine What do you think?
