Plus, we can
  - ensure nobody ever does anything unexpected,
    which ultimately makes code more robust and harder
    to break. That is what is most appealing to me.
  - quickly see who needs read only access, and who
    modifies.

I think that is an indication things are not
compartmentalized correctly yet :)

It is the case for _restrictors, it could easily go into
the restrictorPlugin, but... testQueryAnalysis is checking
few things relates to _restrictors, so, how would you
implement that? We could iterate through the list of plugins
that QuerySession keeps, find the restrictorPlugin and
do the calls testQueryAnalysis needs (what is the number
of restrictors, give me the first restrictor). Is it too ugly?

Thanks,
Jacek
