- An ``add_permission`` directive method was added to the Configurator. This

  directive registers a free-standing permission introspectable into the
  Pyramid introspection system.  Frameworks built atop Pyramid can thus use
  the the ``permissions`` introspectable category data to build a
  comprehensive list of permissions supported by a running system.  Before
  this method was added, permissions were already registered in this
  introspectable category as a side effect of naming them in an ``add_view``
  call, this method just makes it possible to arrange for a permission to be
  put into the ``permissions`` introspectable category without naming it
  along with an associated view.  Here's an example of usage of
  ``add_permission``::

      config = Configurator()
      config.add_permission('view')
