We're calling check_object_ownership which errors out with:

    aclcheck_error(ACLCHECK_NOT_OWNER, [...])

which in turn then aborts with "must be owner of [...]". But checking 
the code, we do call has_privs_of_role, so you're absolutely right.

In doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_*.sgml we use the phrase "You must own the 
[...]" to describe the privileges needed. Let me know if you want me to 
change the wording.

While double checking I noticed that other docs don't have the extra 
"the " before "<command>[...] " so I dropped that in my v2 patch.

Thanks for reviewing!
