We do have several ownercheck and aclcheck functions that can't be
refactored into this framework right now, so we do have to keep some
special-purpose functions around anyway. I'm afraid converting all the
callers would blow up this patch quite a bit, but it could be done as a
follow-up patch.

That could make sense.
