these three lines, which check whether the policy could possibly apply to resourceType, could
- be factored out into a separate
defsince they're repeated three times in this file - be further optimized to consider policies with

A permissions query algorithm is an procedure for enumerating resources with a specific type that a principal is authorized to access.
For each algorithm, this PR proves that a resources is listed if and only if it has the expected type and access is in fact allowed.
Specifically, the two main theorems are
