At least on first blush that seems like the right approach. We'll need
to make sure that the SECURITY LABEL system will properly work with
partitioned tables too, of course, and that the checks are called when a
user queries a partitioned table. Then we'll need regression tests to
make sure we get it all correct and don't screw it up in the future. ;)
