Definitely a valid objection. But before assuming that this issue is
limited to SET ROLE, it'd be wise to push a bit on the other GUCs with
catalog-dependent values, to see if there are any others we need to
worry about. I"m okay with a narrow solution if SET ROLE really is
the only problem, but at this stage I'm not convinced of that.
