>> This is useful when you need to check multiple permissions at once. For example, an actor should be able to view a table if either one of the following checks returns `True` or not a single one of them returns `False`:

- `False` means ""so not grant this permisson""
- `True` means ""grant this permission""
- `None` means ""I have no opinion""

But... there's also a concept of a ""default"" for a given permission check, which might be `False` or `True`.

I worry this is too complicated. Could this be simplified before 1.0? In particular the default concept.
