Um. I knew that that module's desire to shove stuff into pg_catalog
would bite us someday. But now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure
I recall discussions to the effect that there are other third-party
modules doing similar things.
Anyway, this seems to answer Robert's original question about why
relations were special-cased: there are too many special cases around
this behavior. I think we should seriously consider just reverting
a475c6036.
