Comment (by jrf):

 Just wondering: as there are four "screen" functions and one "user"
 function and the impact of renaming these functions on userland code is
 large, what is the reason to favour renaming the (four) "screen" functions
 instead of renaming the (one and much less used) "user" function ?

 `is_super_admin()` could become `is_super_admin_user()`

 Note: I'm in favour of adding the aliases either way as it allows for more
 descriptive code, but I'm not sure the original "screen" functions should
 be deprecated.
