/**
 * This class implements a simple model for named permissions without an
 * associated action list.  That is, either the named permission is granted
 * or it is not.  
 * <p>
 * It also supports trailing wildcards to allow the
 * easy granting of permissions in a hierarchical fashion.  (For example,
 * the name "org.gnu.*" might grant all permissions under the "org.gnu"
 * permissions hierarchy).  The only valid wildcard character is a '*'
 * which matches anything.  It must be the rightmost element in the
 * permission name and must follow a '.' or else the Permission name must
 * consist of only a '*'.  Any other occurrence of a '*' is not valid.
 * <p>
 * This class ignores the action list.  Subclasses can choose to implement
 * actions on top of this class if desired.
