  To the extent that we are willing to assume that the error structure
on the logit scale is Normally distributed, and that we are not
worried about ignoring the uncertainty in the random effects
parameters (i.e. we are conditioning on the estimates of RE
variance-covariance matrices), if you do this procedure on the link
(logit) scale and inverse-link-transform the resulting confidence
intervals, I would think you would get reasonable answers.

  You might want to do a quick check against the results of bootMer() ...

  As always, corrections/caveats welcome from the rest of the community.
