Good point.

Perhaps 'role.synonym' could become a conflict resolution technique.  Or 
a precedence rule.  Or default flag.

Not dissimilar to needing to understand rules when granting / revoking 
object privs.  And not as cumbersome as needing to manage thousands of 
private synonyms for thousands of users, and then trying to find the 
missing ones when a new view has been added.
