Isn't it unavailable to describe using RLS policy?
In case when 'alice' and 'bob' should bypass RLS policy on a certain table,
we will be able to describe it as follows:   (current_user in ('alice', 'bob') OR rls_policy_this_table(X, Y, Z))

I have one concern the "current_user in (...)" is not wiped out at the planner
stage, although its evaluation result is obvious prior to execution.
