Since we don't have any, no ;-)
You could imagine implementing it as the spec suggests, but storing all
those per-column privileges would be bulky and usually redundant.
I think part of the "TODO" item here is to think of a more intelligent
representation that only stores a column privilege descriptor when it's
different from the table-level privileges.
