What should fp 6.0 look like?

Four score and seven years--eh, screw that!

I forgot a biggie:

A -native- user authentication and access system.  Something akin to
MySQL's permissions system, complete with internal user accounts, and what
they can and can't do to any given table--or table-wide permissions if you
want to go that route rather than specify for each individual user for a
table.

Basically, I think it should go table-oriented takes precedence, and then
user permissions modify that access.

At any rate, I know people that have designed ones in fP itself, but
they're still modifiable by anyone that can launch fP and get the password,
assuming one is assigned.

fP really wants a native, multi-tier access system after all these years,
if we're talking things that it should have that would enhance its value.
