OK, I'll add the following description in the documentation of pg_largeobject.
<structname>pg_largeobject</structname> should not be readable by the public, since the catalog contains data in
largeobjects of all users. <structname>pg_largeobject_metadata</> is a publicly readable catalog that only contains
identifiersof large objects.

The description is true, but gives a confusion because
"lo_compat_privileges = on" means "privilege checks are turned off".
short desc: Enables backward compatibility in privilege checks on large objects long desc: When turned on, privilege
checkson large objects are disabled.
Are those descriptions appropriate?
