... except that the SQL spec says the above should work. In any case,
if you're thinking of SESSION_USER, that's not really the right thing
either. Imagine that the INSERT is being executed by a SECURITY DEFINER
function --- the owner of the function, not the session user, is really
the one that should be "blamed" with the insert.
