The special privileges of the table owner are always implicit
and cannot be granted or revoked.
The special privileges of the table owner (i.e., the right to do
<command>DROP</>, <command>GRANT</>, <command>REVOKE</>, etc)
are always implicit in being the owner,
and cannot be granted or revoked. But the table owner can choose
to revoke his own ordinary privileges, for example to make a
table read-only for himself as well as others.
