* by map_meta_cap() to map to other "primitive" capabilities, e.g. 'edit_posts',
* 'edit_others_posts', etc. The parameter is accessed via func_get_args() and passed
* to map_meta_cap().

* @param int $object_id,... Optional. ID of a specific object to check against if `$cap` is a "meta" capability.
* Meta capabilities such as `edit_post` and `edit_user` are capabilities used by
* by the `map_meta_cap()` function to map to primitive capabilities that a user or
* role has, such as `edit_posts` and `edit_others_posts`.
* @return bool Whether the user has the given capability, or, if `$object_id` is passed, whether the user has
* the given capability for that object.
