To this point, we already do this for GRANT and REVOKE, so if this is
going to be based around those commands then it should perform in a
similar manner. Of course, that behavior is required for SQL spec and
as Tom points out that might be reason enough to avoid actually tying
this in with GRANT/REVOKE since we could end up in a tough spot if the
SQL committee decides to take a different direction than what we use (or
use the keywords we pick for something else).
Thanks!
