[ansel] Permissions on individual images?

How difficult would it be to allow a user to set permissions on an
individual image? Is the capability there and just not implemented in
the UI?
I'm asking because I have a situation where I'd like to create a gallery
that contains a bunch of pictures. But I'd like some of those pictures
to only be viewable by select other users (defined users or groups of
users, Family or something like that), but I don't necessarily want to
block the entire gallery from public view. In this specific case, it's
picture of my 20 month old daughter. There are some pictures (like her
playing in the bath) that I'd rather not have publicly accessible for
the perverts of the world to find. I can imagine that there are other
cases similar to this that might have a use for such a capability.
To keep the number of permissions manageable, the default permission for
an image would be the same as the gallery, and only if an explicit
permission was set would it be stored and enforced (an inheritance
model, if you will).
If the capability exists and it's just missing the UI, can it get added
to the TODO list for tracking purposes? If the capability doesn't exist
and you think it would be a worthwhile feature, consider adding it to
the appropriate TODO (ansel or other) as well.
