Reviewed and applied.  Couple things I didn't like:

* You were using a bare C string as the amname argument in COMMENT ON
OPERATOR CLASS.  This won't do because the parse tree is not a valid
Node structure; copyObject will fail on it.  I inserted makeString()
and strVal() calls to fix it.

BTW, a simple test to detect uncopiable-parsetree problems is to compile
with COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES defined.  Doing so revealed that you're not
the only person to have made this mistake lately --- ALTER SEQUENCE is
broken too.

* I made the macros LARGE and OBJECT be LARGE_P and OBJECT_P; they
seemed just a little too ripe for conflicts as-is ...

* The pg_dump code for COMMENT ON OPCLASS pretty obviously had not been
tested :-(

            regards, tom lane
