Eh?  Are you thinking of column-level privileges, which was committed
last week?  The SQL spec doesn't define row-level security, and coming
up with something willy-nilly on our own doesn't really strike me as the
best approach.  Oracle, SQL Server, etc, also use the security labels
concept that the SE-PostgreSQL patch implements.
