At the very least we would need a way of getting the current behaviour,
if we are not to break existing applications.
People have a reasonable expectation that a dump and reload will work,
and that can't be dismissed as cavalierly as this.
Maybe a config file option would do the trick, or maybe an option to
pg_dump / pg_dumpall to make it generate the extra GRANT statement that
would be required.
