    Description

      This issue is in reference to http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=111362.
      In brief, one of our Moodle extensions would benefit greatly from being able to use Moodle's roles and contexts system, and we would need to define our own context levels. However, we would like to be able to do this without having to differ from core in unmaintainable ways.
      We believe that this would be helpful to many other Moodle partners and plugin developers, and some of our proposed changes may help to improve the maintainability and readability of core Moodle code.
