[fw-general] Better ACL through resource globbing

[pat]

Hi List,

A few months ago I requested that the ACL unit allow some form of 
globbing.  But, The impending release made that impossible.  Is now a 
good time to consider resource globbing in the acl?  What I have in mind 
is the following:
//resource = *. controller.*
$this->_acl->isAllowed($role, $resource);

instead of this:

!$this->_acl->isAllowed($role, $resource, $action);


In short, I'd like the ACL to work at the module level and include globbing.

Is this possible?

cheers,

pat
