I totally agree with this.
But in the context of a page content/xwiki application writer, what do 
you think is more natural :

- xwiki.user.hasProgrammingRights()

or

- rightManager.hasProgrammingRights()

?

I like the first solution, because the right is associated to the user, 
and that fact is clearly expressed, even if the logic of the right 
management is delegated to a RightManagement entity under the hood 
(that's what an API is made for, isn't it ? ;-) ).
