   Non-Linux systems still have the silly limitations on the number of
groups one can belong to, so **do** set both in the acl: even with
the limits it preserves correctness.

   And that's the direction some folks are drifting towards, under the
KISS principle that 0, 1 and infinity possible cases are good, but that
artificial limits at 2, 16 or 32 possible cases are bad.
