Just my two pence contribution:

As for the style of the syntax, maybe one could consider to reuse
already available sql regexpr rather than import shell-like regexpr?

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE 'myschema.%' TO calvin;

Also, there is no reason why the schema themselves could not been
fixed similarly:

REVOKE ALL FROM SCHEMA 'abc%' FROM hobbes;

On the other hand, having actual sql regexpr may make a potential
implementation harder wrt just handling a 'myschema.*' special case.

Have a nice day,
