Template tag "perms" doesn't support object level permission checking

[Dana Spiegel]

This should be a quick fix, but the perms template tag doesn't allow the specification of an object in order to test for object level permissions.

[Russell Keith-Magee]

{{ perms }} isn't a template tag -- it's an object put into the context by the PermWrapper context processor. However, the use case is valid.

Is there a workaround for this? From looking at the core context processor's PermWrapper it doesn't look like an easy change.

Change UI/UX from NULL to False.

I had need to tackle this for a project I am working on; this was one of the final pieces in fully implementing generic row-level permissions, so I figured I would share my results. I couldn't figure out a way to make this work cleanly and easily with the PermWrapper context processor, so I ended up creating a new template tag, {% ifpermitted %}. I will attach the code momentarily. If there is any interest in using this approach, I could work up docs/tests for this tag (or gladly let somebody else do those, as I have zero experience with them)
