Yeah, I see that now. I guess you'd need a column identifier wider than
'Column Access Privileges' or so, which is almost asking for trouble
already, or a combination of grantee+privs+grantor greater than around
the same, which would require rolenames of >9 characters for grantee
and grantor, which is probably not that common. The new stuff added to
split the ACL across lines is pretty nice.

yea, I'd rather we provide more information on a given row than add
additional rows, but I also tend to run my DB-work terminals at
220x70 or so, which seems to indicate I'm in the minority. :)
