It specially treats only "public" in all lower cases, right?
The pseudo-role name is described as "PUBLIC" (upper) in docs,
but we accept only "public" (lower) as the pseudo-name.

BTW, does the patch need to be back-patched to older versions?
Since they use get_roleid_checked() instead of get_role_oid(), the fix
cannot be applied cleanly to them, though it will be similar codes.
