Yup. This way, a storeentry is only ever seen by the storage manager,
which is the way I think it should be.
The layering would allow for things such as content-based filtering and
other nify things if you wanted to.. the main thing I'm aiming for
is flexibility without too much complexity. You could kill all
hierarchial code, for example, if you wanted a squid which didn't need
to know about siblinges. You could also remove or add ACL types in
the processing list if you saw fit, so you could kill all ACLs
you didn't need.
