Imho this is an area where it does make sense to look at what other db's do,
because it makes the toolwriters life so much easier if pg behaves like some other
common db. Thus I do not really like a standalone design.

Other db's usually use a char array for priaction and don't have priisgrantable, 
but code it into priaction. Or they use a bitfield. This has the advantage of only 
producing one row per table.
