Yes, it would be nice to have real permissions for sequences, specifically
USE (which allows nextval() and currval()) and UPDATE (which would allow
setval() ). However, I don't know that the added functionality would
justify breaking backwards-compatibility.
Oh, and Bruce, I can't imagine needing specific relkind so I think that
part's fine.
