[Zope] manage_listLocalRoles user entry needed

I've read that some people are at least thinking
about user management systems that go beyond the
"handful of users" systems currently supported
by Zope.  (I'm working on one today.)

As a baby step toward supporting these systems,
I propose that manage_listLocalRoles provide a
text box for entering users in addition to (or,
in my case, instead of) allowing them to be
chosen from the select list.

The kludge I've been using is another form that
is defined in the root folder that imitates
manage_listLocalRoles, but has the text input
instead of the select list.  This works, but it
requires the user to know to use it instead of
just selecting "local roles."

Times like this make me think about an
infrastructure that would easily allow admins
to override pages without changing them every
time a package is installed.  Hmmm...

Thank you.
