 * This is a good plugin for accomplishing basic tasks (that really should be default
   functionality in WordPress.) I needed to create a new user role that derived 
   from the WooCommerce Customer user role and was able to do so fairly easily. 
   A few things I’d like to see that would make this a five-star plugin:
    - Ability to directly clone an existing role to a new one (rather than create
      new role, and copy capabilities from existing role)
    - Some kind of integration of the WordPress capability documentation into the
      role editor – either each capability has a link to the relevant documentation
      section, or the documentation is brought directly into the plugin (pop up 
      window?)
    - Bonus: It would be nice if the plugin could somehow identify what capabilities
      are provided by installed plugins, and which ones are leftover from a removed
      plugin. It would probably make more sense for WordPress core to manage this
      however (again necessitating this plugin’s functionality be default.)
