Actually, what I'd *love* to see is for statements such as GRANT to
allow select result sets to be used in place of arguments, e.g.:

GRANT ... ON TABLE (SELECT table_schema || '.' || table_name FROM
      information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema IN ('public', 'postgres'))
      TO (SELECT usename from PG_USER WHERE usecatupd = true);


Actually, it would be very nice if all DDL statements could work that
way.
