How about allowing an alias for deny - something like "for". This would
not affect any existing squid.conf, but if a user chose to do so they
could use lines like "no_cache for local_sites". The following addition to
acl.c _might_ enable this:

865: if (!strcmp(t, "allow"))
866: A->allow = 1;
867: else if (!strcmp(t, "deny"))
868: A->allow = 0;
++++ else if (!strcmp(t, "for"))
++++ A->allow = 0;
869: else {

This is not tested, so don't use it if you don't understand it... :)
