The trailing everyone@ allow ace can grant permissions to all file
classes including the owner and group class.  Before we can apply the
other mask to this entry to turn it into an "other class" entry, we need
to ensure that members of the owner or group class will not lose any
permissions from that ace.

Conceptually, we do this by inserting additional <who>:<allow>::allow
entries before the trailing everyone@ allow ace with the same
permissions as the trailing everyone@ allow ace for owner@, group@, and
all explicitly mentioned users and groups.  (In practice, we will rarely
need to insert any additional aces in this step.)

That richace_is_allow(ace) check is redundant at this point, isn't it?

Uh, I wish C had a subset-of operator, that construct took me longer to
work out than I should admit.

Isn't ace already set to the last ace?

The code looks right, but I don't understand the preceding comment.

For example, 

	owner mask: rw
	group mask:  wx
	other mask: rw

satisfies the first two conditions, but not the third.

Also, I don't understand why the first condition would imply that we
might need to propagate permissions.

OK, maybe I get the part about the owner mask containing permissions
not in the group mask: we'll need to insert a deny ace for the bits in
the other mask but not in the group mask, and then we'll need an allow
ace for the owner to get those bits back.  I think?

The v4 spec allows aces other than allow and deny aces (audit and
alarm), but I didn't think you were implementing those.

Yes, I'll change that.

Yes indeed, that line can also go.

That is indeed the reason, and it also seems clear that this wasn't
documented well enough. Let me remove the offending comment and tiny
optimization, and add better comments instead.

Right, I don't see that happening. I'll remove that as well.
