That seems good to me.  More generally it would be
GRANT perm [,...] ON NEW/ALL TABLES IN schema [,...] TO user [,...]

which leaves us the freedom to later add
GRANT perm [,...] ON NEW/ALL FUNCTIONS IN schema [,...] TO user [,...]

and so on.

As long as you aren't allowed to omit the word "TABLES", I think we can
do this without making ALL or NEW any more reserved than they are
already.  I haven't actually tried it in bison though.

TABLES (and later FUNCTIONS, etc) isn't a keyword at all right now IIRC,
but as long as we can do this without making it reserved, I think that's
not a big objection.
