     * an existing Resource and Role combination.

     * If either $role or $resource is null, then the query applies to all Roles or all Resources,
     * respectively. Both may be null to query whether the ACL has a "blacklist" rule
     * (allow everything to all). By default, Zend\Permissions\Acl creates a "whitelist" rule (deny
     * everything to all), and this method would return false unless this default has
     * been overridden (i.e., by executing $acl->allow()).
     *
     * If a $privilege is not provided, then this method returns false if and only if the
     * Role is denied access to at least one privilege upon the Resource. In other words, this
     * method returns true if and only if the Role is allowed all privileges on the Resource.
     *
     * This method checks Role inheritance using a depth-first traversal of the Role registry.
     * The highest priority parent (i.e., the parent most recently added) is checked first,
     * and its respective parents are checked similarly before the lower-priority parents of
     * the Role are checked.
