Comment (by knutsp):

 This convention (prefixing an option in a table that's already prefixed
 and thereby site specific) just creates extra work and possible confusion
 when moving sites.

 If two sites in some strange way are able to be sharing their options then
 they share `user roles`, too. If this is happening in som rare cases,
 using config contants for `site_url` and `home_url`, add a constant for
 `user_roles`  to override the option, like `WP_USER_ROLES` (simple array
 of strings).

 Please fix.
