Is it an expected behavior?
 postgres=> CREATE SEQUENCE s; CREATE SEQUENCE postgres=> ALTER TABLE s RENAME sequence_name TO abcd; ALTER TABLE
 postgres=> CREATE TABLE t (a int primary key, b text); NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index
"t_pkey"for table "t" CREATE TABLE postgres=> ALTER TABLE t_pkey RENAME a TO xyz; ALTER TABLE
 

The documentation says: http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/sql-altertable.html
   : RENAME   The RENAME forms change the name of a table (or an index, sequence, or view) or   the name of an
individualcolumn in a table. There is no effect on the stored data.
 

It seems to me the renameatt() should check relkind of the specified relation, and
raise an error if relkind != RELKIND_RELATION.
