Ah. Perhaps we could make the documentation more explicit about this fact? Or 
maybe change its name to something like PERMS_BASE or PERMS_ALL_BASE?

The reason I included it was because I have already been using it in the Kolab 
library (originally defined it there). These four basic permission levels are 
the only levels I've been using, and there have been several occasions where 
I needed to remove all permissions at once - the bitmask was getting a bit 
verbose.

I thought it would make more sense to include it where the PERMS_xxx levels 
are actually declared though, so I moved it here.
