Yeah, good point. I think properly dealing with the pg_depends issues will 
catch anything of that nature, but what to do with them?

Probably should move dependent type, constraint, index entries to the same new 
namespace. We might want to move related sequences, but I'm not sure we'd want 
to do that silently, since the sequence could be in use for other tables as 
well. And we should probably restrict the change if there are dependent 
functions or views. Does this capture the issues?
