After thinking more about 0001, I have come up with an even simpler
solution that has resulted in 11e1577. That's similar to what
PostgresNode::issues_sql_like() does. This also makes 0003 simpler
with its changes as this requires to change two lines in test_access.

I have briefly looked at 0002 (0001 in the attached set), and it seems
sane to me. I still need to look at 0003 (well, now 0002) in details,
which is very sensible as one mistake would likely be a CVE-class
bug.
