It would be helpful to allow for a more hierarchical permission support in some situations. For example, if you have permissions based on various facilities of an organization and departments within those facilities, it would be helpful for people that have access to a facility to also have access to the departments within the facility.
Views already handles this via their "depth" filter. This patch adapts that logic for permissions by terms to allow for similar control.
