Yes, and several for Unix.  But ACLs don't fill the same bill--they're
not pervasive, even in Unix implementations that are much more mature
than the much newer instantiation in Linux.  They still don't handle
the security need to require co-access; they're not applied by default;
they're not optimized for overhead; etc., etc.
