I noticed today that has_language_privilege() returns incorrect answer
for non-superuser, e.g.:
8<---------------------------------------------------
select has_language_privilege('nobody', 'plperlu',
'usage');has_language_privilege
------------------------t
(1 row)
test1=# \c - nobody
You are now connected to database "test1" as user "nobody".
create function f() returns text as $$ $$ language plperlu;
ERROR: permission denied for language plperlu
8<---------------------------------------------------
I verified this behavior on head as well as 9.1 (didn't bother looking
any further back). Looks like the reason is that CreateFunction()
correctly checks lanpltrusted, whereas pg_language_aclmask() does not.
Seems like a bug to me -- opinions?
