Dunno, as far as I know unions are pretyy efficient. An the other hand, 
you could ofcourse do the following:

Add a column to the table which describes additional priviledges.
Write a trigger that uses that column and the current user-name to 
determine whether a row should be returned.

Ah, just remembered, that won't work, cos you cannot define a trigger on 
a select. Damned....

I don't know why Vadim didn't implement it, maybe it's just too dificult 
to do, but I think there are certainly uses for such a trigger. Something 
for 6.4???
