It is currently not possible to create a user that can edit only certain 
other users' posts.

In the new capabilities system, there is no heirarchy.  No user is above 
another user, therefore there is no way to specify that group A should 
be able to edit posts by group B, but not vice-versa.

If your security scheme is doled out in a way such that you are worried 
that the users with the "editor" role will edit the administrator's 
posts, then perhaps you need to reconsider how your security works, and 
who has permission to edit posts.
