Hi,

I'm not that convinced by the use case, but I think it's also low cost to add
and maintain, so if somebody cares enough to write something...

The only thing I would "request" is that such a function requires more
permissions than the default accessors do. I think it's a minor problem that
we allow so much access within a database right now, regardless of object
permissions, but it'd not be a great idea to expand that to other databases,
in bulk?

Greetings,

Andres Freund
