TRUNCATE privilege vs information_schema

Whilst going through the pending patch to add TRUNCATE as a separate
permission, I noticed that it neglected to add TRUNCATE to the various
columns in information_schema that display privileges. I wonder whether
we should do so, or whether we should restrict information_schema to
only show SQL-spec-compatible privileges.

If we add that, how many other places are we likely to creep from the
spec in the future? I think we should keep it as spec-compliant as
possible.
