If you look at the commitfest, I've posted my WIP so far there. Most of
the grammer, parser, and catalog changes are there. There's a couple of
bugs in that code that I'm working to run down but otherwise I think
it's pretty good. I do need to add in the dependency tracking as well
though, and that's what I'm planning to work on next.

A piece which can be broken off pretty easily is adding support to track
the columns used through to the executor so we can check the permissions
in the right place.

You should review Tom's #2 comment here:

Let me know if you'll be able to work on this or not. If not then I'll
get to it after I'm happy with the other pieces of the patch.

Thanks,

Stephen
