RE: Create user/create database outside template1

Isn't template1 just that, a template?

If a user has the ability to create a user or database, then they should
be able to do it from anywhere.

Personally, I think normal users shouldn't have access to template1,
simply because they could create objects in there that can be copied
into _any_new_ database.

What happens if people issue create user or create database outside
template1.  Do we need to prevent it?  Seems they work, but am not sure
it is OK.  Do we need to add a check?
