Agreed, but not going to change it at this point.

Would love feedback on the attached.  I included the variable renames
discussed previously with Noah as they're quite minor changes.

Had no trouble cherry-picking this back to 9.5.

I'll look at doing this also in the rowsecurity regression suite, but I
really like having this coverage of CREATE/ALTER ROLE too, plus testing
the role dump/restore paths in pg_dumpall which I don't think were being
