 In the past (I think not anymore, but who knows?), BuddyPress was a little
 sloppy about cleaning up multiple group membership requests/invitations.
 So sometimes you would be invited to a group that you had previously
 requested membership in, and when membership was approved, the invitation
 was not also marked as accepted (or deleted). The result is that you have
 a group invitation that cannot be accepted, because the first thing BP
 does in `groups_accept_invite()` is to check whether the user is already a
 member, and if so return false.

 Better behavior would be: If the user is already a member of the group,
 then delete all outstanding requests/invitations, and return *true*, since
 the state of affairs being requested - to be a member of the group -
 actually obtains.

 Note that this doesn't prevent the problem from happening in the first
 place, but (a) I think that the source of the problem has been solved
 elsewhere, and (b) it doesn't hurt to be redundant in this case.
