Description

Support for read/write of restrictions on the ACE has only partially been implemented in the sling jcr.base AccessControlUtil operations. 
 
However it looks like adding support for read/write of ACE restrictions would not be too difficult and it looks like it could be useful to the community.
 
It looks like changes would be needed in the org.apache.sling.jcr.base bundle, specifically these:
 
1. org.apache.sling.jcr.base
    a) Changes to the AccessControlUtil addEntry/replaceAccessControlEntry methods to support passing in and processing of restrictions and multi-value restrictions
