A simple, optional DSL for permissions

@christhekeele has written "a simple little DSL for making long chains of conditionals in Authorizer methods more readable", available in this Gist. We decided not to include it with Authority, but if you like the look of it, he's made it very copy-and-paste friendly. Thanks, Christopher!
