[Zope] has_permission for arbitrary user

I'm basically trying to do this:


<dtml-if expr="acl_users.getUser('someuser').has_permission('Change DTML
Document',this())">
               Yes
            <dtml-else>
               No
            </dtml-if>

Unfortunately, has_permissions seems to be implented to call
has_permission on the currently logged in user; i.e. AUTHENTICATED_USER.

So the question is, how do I determine if an arbitrary user (not the
logged in user) has a certain permission on a certain object?
  
Thanks,
Mark
