Comment:

 In [changeset:"60364" 60364]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60364"
 Role/Capability: Add support for passing a numerically-indexed array of
 capability names to the `add_role()` function and the
 `WP_Roles::add_role()` method.

 Denying a capability at the point of creating the role is a relatively
 uncommon requirement, so this simplifies the syntax needed to grant a list
 of capabilities to the role.
