Comment (by boonebgorges):

 @r-a-y - Thanks for your patch. I was going to suggest the very same
 thing, in response to thebrandonallen's patch on #5121.

 `bp_current_user_can()` is still slightly different from
 `current_user_can()`, because `current_user_can()` can take a scalar as
 the item_id/third argument. So,

 {{{
 current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id );
 }}}

 vs

 {{{
 bp_current_user_can( 'edit_group', array( 'item_id' => $group_id ) ); //
 or 'group_id' or whatever
 }}}

 There's probably no way around this, since (a) some caps may require more
 than one item id, and (b) we need to provide backward compatibility for
 `$blog_id`, but just thought I'd raise the point.
