[development] Writing Directly To node_access Table

[Moshe Weitzman]

for your own custom site, thats fine. for Contrib, thats a problem  
becuase you don't know what other node access modules are running.  
Their grants might have higher priority. I guess you could ship your  
module with a hook_requirements() that yells if another node access  
module is found.
