Comment:

 Seems somewhat okay to me to allow repair if is_super_admin(). Obviously,
 that check will fail if the database is unavailable. But if enough tables
 are available (users, usermeta, and potentially options), then it's a nice
 little enhancement, particularly to allow for optimizes without the need
 to trigger a repair.

 That said, we should allow `WP_ALLOW_REPAIR` to be false and prevent the
 script from running in this case.

 I'm also okay with denying this implicit cap check (thus requiring
 WP_ALLOW_REPAIR) if DO_NOT_UPGRADE_GLOBAL_TABLES is set. Also potentially
 multisite in general.

 Eh. I'm kind of okay with a wontfix, rather than conflating DB admin and
 site admin roles unreasonably.
