We had that discussion about roles several times yet. 

Create a backend usergroup and name it "Editors". 
Create a backend usergroup, name it "Content Editors" and add a sub
group "Editors".
Create a backend user being member of "Content Editors".

That's nested roles, isn't it? 

I do say, however, that the user administration must be improved. But
not by inventing "roles".

Just a remark to the list above: How would you technically solve the
problem that Developers are not Main Administrators? 

Basically a developer has the right to create SQL queries so he can
easily make himself a administrator. Or he could just create an
extension overriding some functions in the backend.
