This seems like a reasonable and useful feature.  It's simple to 
implement, and, (apparently) there's already a patch to do it.

I can think of one reason why further thought is required.  It could be 
argued that this needs to be determined per-user.  That is, should there 
be some way to specify a group of users for whom permissions are not 
forced; or, in the alternative, a group of users for whom permissions 
must be forced.

I'm sorry to have erected what might seem to be a block to 
implementation of this very good idea.  It is not my intention to block 
it; I encourage it!, in part because I have a use for it.  I offer my 
help as a programmer of 40 years practice (although I perceive that 
that's not needed.)
