[development] Writing Directly To node_access Table

You've eluded to the problem with your other questions of course.  The 
issues with writing to the table yourself becomes what happens when 
module bar also updates node_access.  And then module baz also.  It 
becomes a nightmare of what modules are doing what updates.  The better 
solution would be to call node_access_write_grants yourself.
