Well, bear in mind that we're *only* going to allow these things
per-role, so as to avoid the problem of translating ACLs to a different
grantor.  So the main case that's not being solved is "I'd like to
grant privileges XYZ everywhere except in this schema".  I'm willing to
write that off as not being within the scope of a simple mechanism.
