Yeah. pg_checkpoint makes sense because you can either CHECKPOINT or
you can't. But for a command with a target, you really ought to have a
permission on the object, not just a general permission. On the other
hand, we do have things like pg_read_all_tables, so we could have
pg_vacuum_all_tables too. Still, it seems somewhat appealing to give
people fine-grained control over this, rather than just "on" or "off".
