Note that what I'm looking for is something to compare just about
EVERYTHING DDL under the PostgreSQL sun: tables, types, functions,
operators, etc. The description of same_schema appears to imply only a
subset of objects are compared (in fact, looking at the code, I can
confirm that limitation).
BTW, I tried installing check_postgres, but not being much into Perl and
not knowing what dependencies it has, "make test" failed 38/42 tests.
