True, you could. The only thing that would be left is a table describing
the ACL.
The only thing I worry about is that users_param is a type of text,
which could be slow for very large sites. Which is why you might want
to have a separate table. Course, the table is entirely indexed.
Just put it in users_param, if it turns out to be a performance
issue it will be easy to fix.

Well, the ACL functions should be in Slash::Utility.

We can make the two live side by site at the moment. Long term
I would prefer to see only one though (just me), but I don't
see it as a priority.

Cool.
