Grantable column privileges

Query goal: Find column privileges that the carrier of the privilege can in turn grant to others, i.e., the privileges have been given WITH GRANT OPTION. The number of privileges that can be passed on should be as small as possible.
Notes about the query: The query excludes privileges that have been given to superusers because they have the privilege in any case.
Query type: Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Query reliability: High (Few or no false-positive results)
Query license: MIT License
Fixing suggestion: Revoke WITH GRANT OPTION privilege.
Data source: INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog
