If this is to suggest a more ACL-like control over user permissions, rather
than the current BBS-like user level permission control, I second this
request.

Sometimes you just want to assign specific permissions.  And other times,
you just don't want to have to remember what user level does what.  (And the
user level interface is the clunkiest part of WordPress admin.)

Provide a hook for plugins to add new permissions to the list of all
permissions, and we've got a winner!
