Having gotten some hands-on experience of these views for a while,
I notice I quite often want to check the ownerships/permissions
for some specific type of objects, or in some specific schema.

The current patch returns pg_describe_object() as the "objdesc" column.

Would it be a better idea to instead return the fields from pg_identify_object()?
This would allow specifically filtering on "type", "schema", "name" or "identity"
instead of having to apply a regex/LIKE on the object description.
