I've looked at the patch proposed you proposed. If we can depend on
acldefault() being STRICT (which is legitimate to me), I think we
don't need to build an expression depending on the caller (i.g.,
is_default_acl). If acldefault() were to become not STRICT, we could
detect it by regression tests. What do you think?

I've updated the patch.

Yes. I've also confirmed both produce the same result.
