 > Actually, I'm not really sure this is desired. I understand the argument
 about `get_`, but it's probably only going to encourage using this
 roles/capabilities array directly, when in reality you shouldn't ever do
 that. More inclined to wontfix now.

 Does the method have too much history to just change it from 'get' to
 'set' (deprecate get_* and introduce set_*, I guess) and forgo the
 proposed return value?
