These are mainly just documentation improvements which I'm working on,
though the docs were recently updated and I need to incorporate Peter's
changes which I wasn't exactly anticipating.

The non-documentation question is around DROP OWNED.  We need to either
have policies dropped by DROP OWNED (well, roles removed, unless it's
the last one, in which case the policy should be dropped), or update the
documentation to reflect that they don't.  I had been thinking we'd
fix DROP OWNED to deal with the policies, but if folks feel it's too
late for that kind of a change, then we can simply document it.  I don't
believe that's unreasonable for a new feature and we can work to get it
addressed in 9.6.

I'm starting to think that just documenting it makes sense for 9.5.  I
doubt it's going to be a serious issue during 9.5's lifetime.

Thanks!

Stephen
