I can go for the concept, but haven't had a chance to look at the
implementation.

Note that there is a PR (to which I happen to agree) that says a .htaccess
file that exists but is unreadable should deny all access.  This is a
non-backwards compatible change, but I think that is the way things should
work.  Fixing that involves the same area of code.
