+   * 144 permutations, all of which are tested.
+   *
+   * There are two "contagious" patterns:
+   * 1. Any operation with a forbidden access result yields a forbidden result.
+   *    This therefore also applies to the cacheability metadata associated with
+   *    a forbidden result.
+   *    This is the case for items 4, 5 and 6 in the set above.
+   * 2. Any operation yields an access result object that is of the same class
+   *    (implementation) as the first operand. This is because operations are
+   *    invoked on the first operand. Therefore, if the first implementation
+   *    does not implement CacheableInterface, then the result won't either.
