[IRCServices] the idea of operflags

I've noticed that quite a lot of services packages now have, instead of a
"levels" based system of oper access to services, (such as oper < services
oper < services admin < services root), a "flags" system of access.

This "flags" system is really very simple, commands (or groups of
commands)
each have flags that you must posess in order to use them.

For example, there could be one flag for having admin access to forbid
channels, another to drop/force register channels, another to set things
like the channel password, and another to use 'sendpass'.

The benifits of this system are clear, much more finely tuned operator
access to services according to job, greater access seperation, and a much
more flexible services package overall.

Are there any plans to implement such a feature into ircservices?
Other packages are already implementing it, and it's a really nice feature
a lot of us would like to see.
