+ * Access control context and permission checker.
+ * Can check permissions in the access control context of the current thread
+ * through the <code>checkPermission()</code> method.
+ * Manipulates the access control context for code that needs to be executed
+ * the protection domain of the calling class (by explicitly ignoring the
+ * context of the calling code) in the <code>doPriviliged()</code> methods.
+ * And provides a <code>getContext()</code> method which gives the access
+ * control context of the current thread that can be used for checking
+ * permissions at a later time and/or in another thread.
+ * <p>
+ * XXX - Mostly a stub implementation at the moment. Needs native support
+ * from the VM to function correctly. XXX - Do not forget to think about
+ * how to handle <code>java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke()</code> on the
+ * <code>doPrivileged()</code> methods.
