OK, that's good information, thanks.

The argument is better for defaults that it is for grant on all, I
think, though we also don't want the two to be asymmetric. Defaults
need to be really simple to have any value, I think, and avoid
violating the POLA. But bulk-grant could be based on object type,
object name (with wildcard or regexp pattern), schema membership, or
maybe other things, and I think that would be quite useful if we can
figure out how to make it clean and elegant.
