 * What I mean is that I can set allow_role=”subscriber_above” and it opens the 
   content for all roles from subscriber up.
 * We have a lot of posts where we us this (thanks for the plugin 🙂 and it’s a 
   bit cumbersome to write alle the roles everytime. Such a feature would shorten
   time and is less error prone.
 * Thanks

 * The problem is that one cannot be certain about the roles hierarchy. It is possible
   for someone to setup their installation such that there are additional roles –
   which will mean that there is no way for me to know for sure which role stands
   as the base role.

 * I understand. Maybe capabilities would resolve this?
