make burrows able to be a hospital, a water collection zone or whatever and remove "zones"

for consistency of course, also make it so you can select between: restrict premission (restricted to this location or others like this), deny permission (not allowed inside this no matter what), inherit permission (takes over permissions from overlapping zones)

make it so you can set permissions on squad level, and possibly on permission group of some sorts?

What is this I don't even.

Are you asking how to do this or are you suggesting it be implemented?

You can always just place a burrow over a zone...but if your dwarf was limited to a burrow that's a water collection zone, he wouldn't be able to do anything. Assigning doctors to a burrow containing only your hospital would be a good idea to keep them from wandering off though. But Zones and Burrows have two entirely distinct functions.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.
