I don't understand. Why doesn't alice do a "set role dev_user" before
creating the table? Then, the table owner is dev_user, not alice, and
default privileges for dev_user apply. In fact you needn't run ALTER
DEFAULT PRIVILEGES at all, because dev_user will be owner of the
objects, and both alice and bob have that role.
