This is certainly something which we can look at adding support for. I
agree that it'd be nice to have, though I'm curious what your specific
use-case for it is, if you don't mind sharing.

Just to be clear, this is a new feature and not a bug. The CREATE
POLICY documentation is correct- you can currently only specify one
command and the system catalog underneath only allows for one command
per policy.

Thanks!
