 * pattern of calls for modifications:
 *
 *  - canMaybeApplyUserActions(), called with UserActions for an initial access check.
 *    Since not all checks can be done without analyzing UserActions into DocActions,
 *    it is ok for this call to pass even if a more definitive test later will fail.
 *  - canApplyDocActions(), called when DocActions have been produced from UserActions,
 *    but before those DocActions have been applied to the DB.  If fails, the modification
 *    will be abandoned.
 *  - appliedActions(), called when DocActions have been applied to the DB, but before
 *    those changes have been sent to clients.
 *  - filterActionGroup() and filterOutgoingDocActions() are called for each client.
 *  - finishedActions(), called when completely done with modification and any needed
