+/**
+ * This class is the abstract superclass of all classes that implement
+ * the concept of a permission.  A permission consists of a permission name
+ * and optionally a list of actions that relate to the permission.  The
+ * actual meaning of the name of the permission is defined only in the
+ * context of a subclass.  It may name a resource to which access permissions
+ * are granted (for example, the name of a file) or it might represent
+ * something else entirely.  Similarly, the action list only has meaning
+ * within the context of a subclass.  Some permission names may have no
+ * actions associated with them.  That is, you either have the permission
+ * or you don't.
+ *
+ * <p>The most important method in this class is <code>implies</code>.  This
+ * checks whether if one has this permission, then the specified
+ * permission is also implied.  As a conceptual example, consider the
+ * permissions "Read All Files" and "Read File foo".  The permission
+ * "Read All Files" implies that the caller has permission to read the
+ * file foo.
+ *
+ * <p><code>Permission</code>'s must be immutable - do not change their
+ * state after creation.
