Ah, sorry, -ENOCAFFEINE. It's talking about the access-as-user field,
not the relation's owner. I agree that as querytrees are currently
built, this is probably a safe optimization. But do we really want
to hard-wire such a subtle assumption to gain a microscopic speed
benefit? It's not as though GetUserId() is expensive.
