well sometimes writing out a question helps one discover a solution. i have attempted this, and as far as i can tell this seems to work:

// dynamically protect categories a-z
$letters = range('a', 'z');

foreach ($letters as $l) {
    
    if(is_category('pizza_' . $l) && !current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_pizza_" . $l)) {
        header ("Location: " . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
        exit ();
    }
    elseif (is_category('sandwich_' . $l) && !current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_sandwich_" . $l)) {
        header ("Location: " . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
        exit ();
    }

}

i wonder about the performance considerations of this code, but something is perhaps better than nothing, eh?

take care my s2friends.
