The magic attribute is '__ac_local_roles__'.  By default, it is stored
as a dictionary on the object, keyed by user ID.  You can define it as a
callable, however, returning a mapping.

You will need to avoid deriving from AccessControls.Role.RoleManager,
however, or at least suppress / override the local roles tab for your
objects;  otherwise, your users might shadow your callable with a normal
dict (by calling 'manage_addLocalRole', 'manage_setLocalRoles', or
'manage_delLocalRoles').
