That's a start at least. :)

I would suggest you review the updated patch (linked off the wiki page)
here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/20080902221823.GL16005@tamriel.snowman.net

It includes my comments about what's done and what's not.  I reiterated
much of it here as well:

As mentioned in above, regression tests, documentation updates,
dependency handling, and actually implementing the permission checks all
remain.  What I'm looking for feedback on are the changes to the
grammer, parser, catalog changes, psql output, etc.
Thanks,
    Stephen
