I'm against that.  Functionality of that sort is available now if you
really need it (write a plpgsql loop around an EXECUTE) and it's fairly
hard to see a clean syntax that is significantly more general than
"GRANT ON schema.*".  In particular I strongly advise against getting
into supporting user-defined predicates in GRANT.  There are good
reasons for not having utility statements evaluate random expressions.
