In the prior base version (8.2.x and 8.3.x), I tended to implement
these stuffs in the modular part as far as possible, because massive
patched hanks makes more difficult to follow the mainstreamed PostgreSQL.
:-(
However, the hard-wides checks look like a good idea for me.
I tried to implement a prototype of the disign, and currently it works
fine.
If we can replace the implementation of tuple-level access controls by
this
design, it makes the implementation simpler.
Now, I add a hook into ExecScan(). It can return true or false, to decide
whether a given tuple is filtered or not.
Permissions to be evaluated are delivered via Scan structure. A variable
named as pgaceTuplePerms (uint32) is added to keep permission set for
tuple level access controls into Scan structure.
If the security module put a proper bitmask on pgaceTuplePerms of
RangeTblEntry,
it is copied to related Scan structure later.

Ah.., I didn't intend such kind of usage, so security_label type does not
have operators to use it directly, not only array sup****t.
I'll add it in the next patch set.
