      While working on MDL-61899 we detected that, actually, there are 2 accesslib methods to fetch the roles used at an exact context:

      • get_roles_on_exact_context()
      • get_roles_with_assignment_on_context()

      In the other side, for fetch all the roles used in a context (including parents) is:

      • get_roles_used_in_context()

      Right now there isn't any use in core of any of the "exact" functions.

      This is about to decide what to do:

      1) Deprecate the 2 "exact context" functions and add the "including parents" one to also support "exact context"
      2) Deprecate one of the 2 "exact context", leaving the other. If so, I'd propose to deprecate the get_roles_with_assignment_on_context() because it's less clear.
