I have, and most ideas I've had have been justifiably shot down or
picked apart (scheduled background tasks, offloading stats collection
to standby, index maintenance in DML query plans, expression
statistics... to name but a few).

I'm not sure that means my concerns aren't valid. I don't think it
sounds crap, but I also can't see any use-case for it where we don't
already have things covered, or where it's going to offer any useful
level of security. Like with RLS, it may be that I'm just looking at
things from the wrong perspective.
