  # An ACL is an Hash whose keys are Designator string representations and
  # values are the role symbols defined in the Resource permissions
  # configuration.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   authorize Document do
  #     roles :reader, :editor
  #   end
  #
  # @see Actor
  # @see Resource
  #
  class ACL < Hash

    # as keys and values.
