What if you could define assign a role to a role? In your example above you have the developer role and the supervisor role. You might then be able to assign the developer role to the supervisor role. Now, this IS NOT the way it works today. Would this approach meet your requirement?

With this approach the notion of role becomes much more like a notion of groups.

Actually the more I think about it, this suggestion of inheritated roles would vastly simplify the roles I use on my site and make it a lot more logical. Is this something that is a planned extension? If so, is it easy to do (and hence possible for me to patch)?
