Grok also has a grok.Permission you can subclass, and those subclasses 
can also be passed to grok.require().

We haven't gotten around to making grok.Permission subclasses useful 
here yet in Grok, but we should.

I'm +1 on this, though with the caveat that I'm quite far from Zope 2 
right now so I don't have a full picture of the impact. But it looks 
like a good way to move Zope 2 closer to the Zope Toolkit approach.
