bikeshed: can we name this "trusted_for_policy"? Both "trust" and
"policy" are very general words, but "trusted_for" (after this series)
will have a distinct meaning, so "trusted_for_policy" becomes more
specific/searchable.
With that renamed, I think it looks good! I'm looking forward to
interpreters using this. :)
