[pmwiki-users] Condition Names.

I've just checked, and there is currently no (:if action:) test in the core to
see if one has permission to perform a given action.

See a recent discussion here with PM about how (:if auth:) doesn't quite do
that, as it ignores the $HandleAuth array.

It shouldn't be too hard to add such a test, but what should it be called? The
reason I ask is that I already have a custom (:if action:) test which instead
checks to see what the current value of $action is.

They can't both have the same name, so what should I call them? I'm currently
thinking:

  (:if authact ...:) to see if an action is authorized
  (:if action ...:) to see what the current action is.

What do folks think?
