Good point. We only support `_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_3` so there is no need 
to store it.

Are you suggesting we create a global variable to hold `lastCapability`? It 
looks that one could only be set in `capabilities::initialize`, so we'd require 
a way to denote unset/invalid state, so we'd either need something like e.g., 
an `Option` which opens the door the nasty destruction order bugs, or 
semantically worse, use e.g., a signed type to store an unsigned value and use 
values < 0 to denote invalid values.

As much as I would like to get rid of an extra class here, using a class to 
control that state appears simpler to me.

If we'd just return a `Set` we'd need to use an empty set for both the case of 
no supported capabilities, and the error case. What about using a 
`Try<Set<Capability>>` instead?
