That works for me- would we change the existing role attributes to be
configurable this way and change everything over to using an int64 in
the catalog? Unless I'm having trouble counting, I think that would
actually result in the pg_authid catalog not changing in size at all
while giving us the ability to add these capabilities and something like
50 others if we had cause to.
Thanks,
