I tend to be onboard with the idea to support a numeric array, but I question the value of supporting a mix of both.

Rather than checking every value individually, I think it would make more sense to check the entire $capabilities array for the shape that is provides. While there's arguably a reason to either specify a $cap => $grant map or a list of caps, it makes no sense to me to allow a mix of the two - that would just be unintuitive.
So I think we could simplify this by using wp_is_numeric_array(). For example:
| foreach ( $capabilities as $key => $value ) { | |
| if ( ! is_bool( $value ) ) { | |
| $capabilities[ $value ] = true; | |
| unset( $capabilities[ $key ] ); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| if ( wp_is_numeric_array( $capabilities ) ) { | |
| $capabilities = array_fill_keys( $capabilities, true ); | |
| } |

If it were up to me, we would deprecate supporting a map entirely, as the absence of a capability implies it is not granted. Without explicitly deprecating that usage, I think it makes sense to support both, even in a single call. Is there a performance implication here? I won't disagree that it's kind of gross.

After discussion with @johnbillion we're going to move forward w/o support for a mixed format array

Agree with Felix's comments. Let's get the docs for the $capabilities parameter of the add_role() global function and the WP_Roles::add_role() method updated, and a @since entry added for both.
Updates WP_Role::add_role to assume capabilities should be granted for capabilities not passed associatively.
