Cool!

I'd say refactor mercilessly. As long as we give a proper head's up on
the mailing list this should be easy enough for everybody to adapt in
their code.

One potential issue is ordering - since code isn't grokked in the
order of definition, it might be someone defines a role or permission
and expects to be able to use it below. This means we need to give the
role and permission grokkers a higher priority so they happen earlier.
