[development] Blocks and page context

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good afternoon,

Thanks, this was quite helpful.

I notice that menu_get_item() will tell me if the current user can access the current menu item.  Is there a simple method to test if user0 can access the current menu item?  That is, regardless who the current user is, I would like to see if there is a function to let me know if user0 can access the current page, essentially a test to see if the current page is available to anonymous users or not.

Thanks again,
