If you can suggest a plausible way that DROP USER is going to change the
contents of other databases (which might well contain things owned by
the target user), this might get onto the TODO list --- although I'd
personally prefer RESTRICT/CASCADE options. So far, since no one has
the foggiest idea how to implement cross-database removal, it's just
been left as-is.
