Description

Sometimes you might want to introduce a new kind of ticket permission, and add it to TICKET_ADMIN without having to wholly redefine it. A good illustration comes from a test IPermissionRequestor I have defined: 

def get_permission_actions(self):
    return ['TEST_CREATE', 'TEST_DELETE', 'TEST_MODIFY',
            ('TEST_ADMIN', ['TEST_CREATE', 'TEST_DELETE',
                            'TEST_MODIFY'])]
            ('TEST_CREATE', []),
            ('TEST_ADMIN', ['TEST_CREATE', 'TEST_DELETE']),
            ('TEST_ADMIN', ['TEST_MODIFY'])]

Except with the imagination that TEST_CREATE actually has something, and the TEST_ADMIN variants are in separate IPermissionRequestors.
