Hm, what happens if a SECURITY DEFINER functions returns a refcursor?

Actually, I wonder how we handle that today. If the executor is
responsible for permission checks, that wouldn't we apply the calling
function's privilege level in that case, at least of the cursor isn't
fetched from in the SECURITY DEFINER function? If I find some time,
I'll check...
