Folks,

Per a question Alexey Parshin asked in the IRC channel, I'm attaching
a patch to the GRANT and REVOKE syntax summaries which replaces the
misleading word "column" with "parameter."  "Column" is misleading
because it could be read to imply a column-level GRANT/REVOKE, which
we don't have yet.

Cheers,
D
