Makes sense. Having some read/write control would be nice. I rarely see a 
use-case beyond just needing a read-only user for a database. Even then, those 
are not very common (I see them mostly with replication when setting read_only 
globally is not practical). I rather the enjoy the idea of not having to care 
about columnar or even table-level permissions myself :) But that's just me. 
YMMV :)
