The particular issue I'm running into is that I'm trying to get the 
information schema up to speed but the current role implementation 
doesn't really match anywhere.  I remember the discussion about the 
inherit flag vaguely, and I think I might even have contributed to the 
confusion, but the fact is that some concepts like the purpose of SET 
ROLE and the difference between enabled and applicable roles have 
apparently been misunderstood.
