err, what proposal wasn't touching the GRANT syntax at all but rather
adding some options to ALTER SCHEMA which I didn't think was all that
bad (and wasn't commented on except to point out that I needed to handle
different object types seperately).  The current opposition, aiui, is
against having a 'default owner' for new objects in a schema and not the
default ACLs per schema.

I don't think it makes sense to have this syntax be part of the GRANT
syntax since it's really about a schema...
