Yes.

You can't.  :-)  That's why the ambiguity is a problem.  If the method is 
called manage_editForm, the security machinery (under most circumstance) 
will look for "manage_editForm__roles__" no matter what attribute name 
you used to access it.  Maybe someday this will change.

You can't do that either, and for good reason.  Would it be an OR or an 
AND operation?  Or some combination?  Better to just call 
getSecurityManager().checkPermission().
