That would be a filter. The function in Midas was always being passed
array('admin').

Whups::permissionsFilter() takes an array of comments or modules and removes
all those that the current user doesn't have permission to see. That's why
it's a filter - you still get an array back. Midas::permissionsFilter() was
returning an array, but it didn't *need* to be an array, and the way the
code was written was really innefficient (and hard to follow) for what it
was actually doing.
