[FLOW3-general] Roles question

I spent some time reviewing how FLOW3 handles ACLs today. I can see that 
FLOW3 considers all users as belonging to the "everybody" role. However, 
that role doesn't seem to be very useful, since if I deny Everybody 
anything, then, well, everybody will be denied access ;)

Is there an easy way, then, to add all users who are _not_ authenticated 
to a default role? It's not uncommon, for example, to have a controller 
class that should only be accessible to authenticated users. If FLOW3 
assigned users to a "nobody" role (which is different from an everybody 
group), I could write policy based on that instead of checking for 
authentication in my controllers.

Or, am I missing something?
