Comment:

 Having some doubts about this patch. It effectively disables one of the
 WordPress features: Quick Edit. As far as I know this feature is not used
 very often, but is quite helpful for Editors on sites with many
 users/authors.

 The disabling is done indirectly, by "piggybacking" on other/existing
 methods. Don't think this is a good way to disable a feature. A better way
 would be to have a filter where extenders will be able to disable it
 directly.

 In addition the current code may introduce bugs/regressions in plugins
 that replace the "Quick Edit" action link with another method of showing
 the UI, or reuse the quick edit data in some way.
