I was thinking - but not saying explicitly - of rigging things so that
pg_catalog is ignored when searching for the target schema for object
creation unless explicitly specified. So if there's no other schema in
the search path you'd get the error about no "no schema has been
selected to create in", even if pg_catalog is somewhere in there.
