This already happens with 'wicked' permissions. Setting perms on a page creates
empty perms for 'wicked' (assuming 'wicked' didn't already exist), which then
removes wicked from the menu (except for admins). So...

How much do we want to assume?
Should we assume, that if there were no permissions set for 'wicked', then it
was meant for all users to have full access, and set 'wicked' and
'wicked:pages' accordingly?
Or, should we require the site admin to set specific values for both of these?
Or, is there some other option that I haven't thought of?
