I need to answer the question.
Is userA a member of groupB either directly or indirectly.
userA is a member of about 100 groups, the group hierarchy is
several levels deep and
group membership can be discovered using
Authorizable#memberOf()
makes sense
What I need is
Group#isMember(Authorizable)
Question answered, thank you (I cant believe I was so stupid not to
see that)

Authorizable#declaredMemberOf()
some of the principals are come from custom PrincipalProvider
implementations.
if i'm not mistaken you can configure multiple principalproviders.
if an authorizable has multiple principals (!= group
membership)
!= group membership was my mistake.
then Authorizable#getPrincipals() is the thing
you are looking for.
The principal(s) of an authorizable are retrieved from the
principalmanager that in the default setup has been created
using the configured providers.
