Adds ability to edit custom capabilities for users in the admin. Why this isn't in core is beyond me.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Register a new capability:

```
add_filter('custom_caps', function($caps) {
  $caps[] = 'create_post_tag_terms';
  return $caps;
});

```

`$caps` is an array of custom capabilities (caps) that admins should be able to edit.

That's it! Now you can edit that capability for users by going to edit user screen.
