Comment (by westonruter):

 @dlh ok, good point. Yeah, re-using the existing primitive cap
 `edit_theme_options` is probably the right. But, will not switching to not
 use the `customize` meta cap cause problems for plugins (like Customize
 Posts) that grant the `customize` cap to allow users to access the
 Customizer to edit posts there? Since those users don't have
 `edit_theme_options` would they not be prevented from being able to make
 any changes? Wouldn't that mean that granting `customize` capability then
 no longer be sufficient to grant effective access?
