Ok, that's a good reason...

Can we think about backward compatibility aliases?

#define ViewHasCheckOption(relation)                       \
     ((relation)->rd_options &&                        \
         ((ViewOptions *) (relation)->rd_options)->check_option_offset != 0)

/* Alias for backward compatibility */
#define RelationHasCheckOption(relation) ViewHasCheckOption(relation)

And keep them for as log as needed to avoid #if VERSION in thirdparty code?

Or that is not the case?
