+1 ; it can be done later, though.

It's nice to be able to get feedback within a few seconds.  That supports the 
idea of writing tests earlier.

I guess this may expose some instabilities due to timing of autovacuum (which
I'd say is a good thing).

If you rearrange the creation of objects, that may provide an opportunity to
rename some tables with too-short names, since backpatching would already have
conflicts.
