Not a hack at all, IMHO, since all the shared system rels have
nailed-down OIDs. It's pure historical artifact that
IsSharedSystemRelationName wasn't IsSharedSystemRelationOID in the
first place.
We probably want to be thinking about merging the "shared system
relation" concept together with the "tablespace" concept once we start
to implement tablespaces. But for now, I think testing the OIDs is
fine.
