First, the R101 right only covers actions "not prohibited or regulated
by the rules". Second, Rule 2125 would still count as "a rule that
says e CANNOT or SHALL NOT perform an action" - though it could be
argued that this rule would allow scshunt to perform by announcement
actions that e could otherwise perform only by some other method,
e.g. Without Objection.
