I had forgotten that the original patch allowed that. Personally I'd
vote for taking it out, for the above-stated reasons --- any objections?
If people do want to have it then we can instead change ALTER SET
TABLESPACE to allow sequences; but we'd also need a nontrivial addition
to pg_dump, so there had better be a better reason than "might be nice
to have".
