There's a diffs available for several of them:

- SELECT citext_table.id,
-    citext_table.name
+ SELECT id,
+    name

It looks like TestUpgradeXversion.pm is using the diff command I sent to
get tigher bounds on allowable changes.

It's ugly and a terrible hack, and I don't know whether anyone would say
it's good enough, but one could can probably avoid the diff like:

sed -r '/CREATE/,/^$/{ s/\w+\.//g }'

You'd still have to wait for it to be deployed, though.
