Not really necessary in the current implementation. checkForWrite
essentially identifies the target table for the operation, and then
the query's commandType is used to decide exactly which flavor of
write access to check for.

IIRC, the ACL code doesn't have the right set of primitive access types
anyway to match the SQL spec's requirements, but that's a task for
another day.
