PmWiki uses the "ALWAYS" permission level to indicate that a page
should be retrieved regardless of any passwords that may have been
set. It's used internally when PmWiki wants to evaluate the
permissions on a page even if the page has a 'read' password
set.
In particular, the (:pagelist:) command uses the ALWAYS level
to determine which pages need to be subsequently checked if
pagelist results are being cached.
