It might be good to have a little interactive tool which helps debug these things, since there are quite a few edge-cases and the damage caused if people use them incorrectly is substantial.

I can implement this as a plugin. Or it could ship as part of Datasette, somewhere under the /-/ namespace like the PermissionsDebugView and MessagesDebugView tools.

I'm going to ship it in Datasette core, to further reinforce the philosophy that debugging tools are important.

The documentation section here now has a bunch of different links to live demos illustrating different "allow" block syntax: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/092874202c8748d6e0d4800eaf707c0145d95ffe/docs/authentication.rst#defining-permissions-with-allow-blocks
