The owning-ROLE match is required, else you have issues with exactly
what the ACL really means. What we're discussing is what other filters
might exist to determine which objects are affected. The patch already
tries to handle the cases of "all owned objects" and "all owned objects
in schema X", and I think it's inevitable that people will want other
cases.
