I think this is something that will eventually get changed, but for now
you have to live with it.

There is a function that will return the name of implicit sequences in

If you use scripting to do the table creation, the script could get the
sequence name and execute an appropiate GRANT statement.

(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
