To find out whether the user has the given role, you should
use has_role().

hasRole is a very very old method that is deprecated, though
I just looked and found that the help system (and possibly
the documentation) lists it (and omits has_role, has_permission
and other things that should be there).

I've copied the documentation guys on this. Amos or Mike, can 
we get this fixed for 2.5?
