> The Acl module creates a table rules in a two dimensional array. The typical reference to this table is: actionList[action][objType].
> When an Acl rule from the file is processed and the action or objType is '*' then the rule is propagated into the actionList table at every row or column even when the action/object pair will never be references.
> For example a rule such as
>  acl allow bob publish * name=X routingkey=a.b.c
> will put the rule into publish/queue, publish/exchange, publish/broker, etc. even when only publish/exchange will ever be referenced.
> In AclModule.h a validationMap is created that identifies which intersections in the actionList are ever used but this map is not used.
> With 5 objects and 9 actions there are 45 actionList entries. Of these only 13 are ever referenced for authorise lookups.
