I think that the logged-in user object has an easy way to tell if it's an
admin or not, and that should be enough for me; it doesn't have to be
fine-grained ACLs.

That's just the parser cache, right? Perhaps what I'll do is, if the user
has extra privileges, ignore the parser cache; and for everyone else,
cache and display the low-privileges rendered version.
If that's not feasible I can probably afford to just disable the parser
cache as a whole.
