Indeed.

Maybe the validation part could be improved somehow, with test cases
build from the sql specification and the expected behavior checked
against the actual behavior.

What I derived from the many discussion and time I spent on the standard
is that there is a lot of subtlety involved.

So maybe the following TODO could be kept:

- validate grant/revoke (error, warning, success0 wrt sql standard

I may be interested in implementing ROLEs someday, and such tests would be
welcome just to check that nothing is broken.
