 * Hi,
 * First of all it’s a great plugin, so massive thanks for it.
 * My only comment is the way it restricts editting snippets. While you limit this
   feature to administrative users only it should be also allowed for Editors.
 * I can see you’re using `if ( current_user_can('manage_options') )`, which is 
   all fine but by definition Editors should be capable of editting others’ content.
   Snippets are not options.
 * Do you think it could be corrected, or perhaps customisable somewhere?

 * Hello,
 * As criography mentioned, individual role control for shortcodes would make me
   have to use your plugin!
 * BTW Thanks! I love the plugin, but I have to have role control!
    Cheers!

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for super late reply. But you are right, and it makes sense. I’ve added
   it to the things to change for the soon upcoming 2.1 update.

 * Getting into the code, I started thinking. Currently editors gets a non editable
   view of the snippets. Allowing editors to edit snippets, will allow them to enter
   and execute PHP code. That would probably not be desired.
 * I will copy this note to my issue list at GitHub, and give it some more thought.
   What do you think?

 * A constant can be set in the coming update that allows users with edit_posts 
   capability access to the snippets admin.
