I just came across this:
alvherre=# select * from pg_class where oid::regclass in ('foo');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type oid: "foo"
LÍNEA 1: select * from pg_class where oid::regclass in ('foo');

Not sure what to make of it.
(The reason I put the regclass cast in the oid instead of the other way
around is that I was trying a bunch of other tables, so it was
oid::regclass IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')
which is a lot easier to type than attaching a regclass cast to each
literal).
I am not sure why it would be valid to list two literals in the values
but not one.
