'su' is not a concept, it's a program. This means one can use it to
accomplish what it was written to do. And one can't use it to accomplish
what it doesn't support. If something su doesn't support has to be done,
and there's no other reasonable way to accomplish it, code will need to
be written to implement the desired behaviour.

Now, is

1. Build systems suck and git isn't exactly the greatest tool on the
planet for working with more than one source tree, so lets add the
code we want to write to systemd

2. goto 1

a concept?
