FWIW what I really want is the new predefined roles. I received feedback
upthread that it might also make sense to give people more fine-grained
control, so I implemented that. And now you're telling me that I need to
redesign the ACL system. :)

I'm happy to give that project a try given there is agreement on the
direction and general interest in the patches. From the previous
discussion, it sounds like we want to first use a distinct set of bits for
each catalog table. Is that what I should proceed with?
