I'm not really that lazy, I was just stuck in the oracle world view (grant priv to user). Your search strings don't
fitin that logic. It looks like sys privs are never provided by grant, rather create or alter. Hmm, sans CONNECT,
whichseems rather system priv to me. MIght make for a handy additional comment to
