It's a nice feature, but a completely different thing to what is being
discussed here.
Row security adds the ability to enforce a single coherent policy at
table level. It might be nice to have multiple, potentially
overlapping policies, but that would require significantly different
design and coding to what we have here. For me, enforcing a single
policy at table level helps to make it secure by being coherent and
understandable. So perhaps in later releases we might do the feature
you suggest.
