Let's just say you'd be opening a *much* larger can of worms there,
because Oid is used all over the place whereas only a few routines

This is (or should be) on the TODO list but I wouldn't recommend it
as your first backend programming project.

Except for all the places that assume Oid is interchangeable with int.
Finding them is left as an exercise for the student...
