Okay, I've been thinking about this some more... what if there were a
way to assign rule-based local roles?  The "local roles" page would let
you set rules that say "if the user has role X, the user also has role
Y but only in the context of this folder."

As an example, a user with the role "Marketing Group" could get the
"Content Reviewer" role, but only in the context of the "Marketing"
folder.  This would be set up in the local roles for the Marketing
folder.

I have seen a need for exactly this functionality in another project,
so I may consider doing it anyway.
