Hm.  Just occurred to me that the only way for a programmer to acquire
a verb with !valid perms is to recycle emself.  This is a hard thing
to do given all the security on chparent, recycle, etc., so perhaps
this caller_perms thing isn't as dire as I first thought upon reading
the message.  Any comments from those who've tried it elsemoo?  Am I
deluding myself?  My true goal is to avoid doing an @grep on LambdaMOO
for all the users of if (!valid(caller_perms()))...
