Permission is an interface, for which BasePermission and
CumulativePermission are both concrete implementations. The getMask()
and getPattern() are both defined on the Permission interface. We don't
have these methods defined on AccessControlEntry because doing so would
bind AccessControlEntry unnecessarily to the notion of an
AccessControlEntry has cumulative permissions whereas often a single
permission (a BasePermission) is all that is needed.

I've added JavaDocs as follows:
/**
* Indicates the a Permission is being granted to the relevant Sid.
* If false, indicates the permission is being revoked/blocked.
*
* @return true if being granted, false otherwise
*/
public boolean isGranting();
