Adding functionality into multi-tenant plugin

Ok, and how can a feature request be created?

The things I really need are (in the sequence of importance for me)

1. it necessary to allow some user (if we use acegi resolver, or from some dns - in case of dns resolver) have access to domain objects of any tenant - I call it supertenant :) Obviously it is an administrator or some other user which participates in interaction with tenants. I suppose it is necessary to add another property to Tenant, e.g. isSuperTenant() which can show whether domain objects restrictions should be applied for this tenant (TenantEventHandler should be updated too). isSuperTenant() can judge by e.g. tenantId (=0).

2. it is necessary to keep it DRY the following thing: when there is one domain object per tenant, I use

   Tenant currentTenant
   ....
   Company.get(currentTenant.get())

and have currentTenant injected in my pojo.

I would like to query like
   currentTenant.Company
or something like this as it is obvious that there is one company per tenant.

If it is possible to do it with latest version of plugin please tell me.
If not then any feedback is welcome.

Regards,
Alexei
