OK cool.

OK. I wrote a patch to implement the following TODO item, which I
selected on the basis of the fact that it appeared to be easy:

* %Add a separate TRUNCATE permission

Currently only the owner can TRUNCATE a table because triggers are not
called, and the table is locked in exclusive mode.

It was easy, so I can update the patch as necessary until it can be
submitted.

Thanks,
