Just to chime in, I agree with Simon's direction of making the security
specification for the table match WITH OIDS, and agree with Tom that the
implementation should follow the WITH OIDS API for clarity, not trying
to reduce the change footprint. Basically, if WITH OIDS and security
definer behave the same in the API, there is little additional code
_complexity_, even if the patch is now larger.
