That's the nice thing about the SE-PostgreSQL patch.. It's at least
following established row-level security setups in other enterprise
RDBMSs... The folks coming out now and saying we should require using a
WHERE clause or similar would cause a serious deviation from what's
being done today, without any real change or advantage that I see..
