I think you should design this with a bit wider scope. Instead of just "all

been requested, for example, to be able to grant on all tables that match a
pattern.
Well, that's certainly possible to do. But I am not sure what kind of
conditions (besides the name), nor I don't see any sane grammar for this
(maybe something like GRANT SELECT ON TABLE WHERE NAME LIKE '%foo' but
that's far to weird). That all tables in this schema thing was agreed on
on this mailing list and put on TODO so I thought it's something people
want in this form (I know I needed it myself).
As far as GRANT is concerned, a view is a table, so I would omit the
VIEW/VIEWS stuff completely.
This maybe true for underlying implementation and for granting
permissions to a single object, but you might want to grant select on
all views without granting it to all tables in the schema. And as I said
having VIEWS and not VIEW just seems weird. Also I don't see why you
would want to add possibility of specifying stricter conditions for
objects and at the same time remove possibility of distinguishing
between tables and views.
