I don't see that as a feasible option unless we make the logic that
does the reporting smarter.  If it changes transiently inside of a
security-definer function, and then changes back, my recollection is
that right now we would report both changes.  I think that could cause
a serious efficiency problem if you are calling such a function in a
loop.
