Basically, I would like to ensure:

 * complete backwards compatibility with the old T.Bley Rights2 module
   up until at least 2 releases

   - this is to avoid any stupid mistakes
   - I would label ALL rights2 function calls, classes and everything
     else as deprecated
     * i.e. still able to be used but likely to stop working

 Why this approach?

  - to let everyone slowly switch to "the new rights system"
  - to let US work out what the "new rights system" is without having to
    worry about breaking the actual project

How would we achieve this?

 * continue to use Rights2

But slowly we'd introduce glue functions which gated Rights2 cruft to
Rights3 stuff, eg:

 queryRights2_bool() might be a wrapper around:

  queryRights3_bool()

A few thoughts of my own.

At the moment we need:

 * a solution which works now

   - i.e. reintroduce Rights2 (even though it really is quite horrid)

 * a solution for the future
