Description

In the permission handler interface, we have calls to grant/revoke a single permission. It would be more beneficial on the backend to allow bundled operations. It may also be better for client use, but that would require exposing it through the API.

In the same scope, this may be something we want to consider for the get() calls to optimize cases where multiple permissions get checked in a single call.

I would like to do this for 1.6 I think, since the interface is still a bit limber, but this is something we can easily make backwards compatible, I think.
