I started implementation. I found a two points, that should be solved before.

we operate over roles with (without) fictive role "public". So we need
two datatypes :( I have no idea about second name :( - there should be
difference if type enables or disallow "public".

second issue is value of ACL_ID_PUBLIC, that is zero - and there is
not difference from InvalidOid - what should be acceptable via "-"
symbol.

Any ideas?

Pavel
