Problems/bugs:
* 4.2 refresh of nav_frame and list_frame.
* Roles menu jumping sideways, when deactivating current role (because 
that the title of the current role will disappear). This happens again 
when you activate a role.
* If you made a shortcut to page, which you later on will no longer have 
access to, the shortcut will still be visible in the menu. Though you 
will still not have access to the page of course. Here the normal 
ShortcutMenu would not display the shortcut. As I see it, it's not 
easily possible to do this in the roles extension. I don't think this is 
a very big problem though.

Other Todos:
* Better Icon - With Roles 1 I used the man with the hat. Didn't look 
that great. Now I just took the switchuser icon. Need something else.
* Maybe the deactive role part of the menu should be different. No 
folder icon infront, and maybe another icon instead (exit role icon?). 
Also I was thinking about that there could be an 'select all roles' icon 
as well?

Things to consider:
* Fe-editing problems? Here it would not be very intuitive that you 
should switch roles, each time you go to edit another part of the site. 
So I'm thinking that it should just activate all roles when in 
fe-editing mode. I had this functionality in Roles 1 (all roles 
activated), but left it out in Roles 2. I think it would be easy to 
implement in the role menu again.
* Other compability problems (don't know what - versioning maybe...?)?

General review of code - including security review:
I have been struggling to get this extension working okay, so my focus 
hasn't been much on code quality/security. I don't think that the code 
has core quality right now. Also I actually merged my old Roles 1 code 
with the new ShortcutMenu code. I did a clean up in the code, but there 
still might be strange things in there - things which could be done much 
better.
Also I don't have much more time to work on it now - there are other 
projects that I have to work on.
