It solves enough of the problem for v6.3's release...I still think
its important to get it so that a 'grant select' can be imposed on a view
that looks at a table that as a 'revoke all' on it...this would fix the
problem cleanly, and completely...

Then you could do a 'copy all_users to stdout;' vs a 'copy
pg_users to stdout;'
