I don't think a proposal to add CommandCounterIncrement() calls just
for the convenience of object access hooks has much chance of being
accepted. Possibly there is some work that could be done to ensure
consistent placement of the calls to post-create hooks so that either
all of them happen before, or all of them happen after, a CCI has
occurred, but I'm not sure whether or not that is feasible. Currently,
I don't think we promise anything about whether a post-create hook
call will occur before or after a CCI, which is why
sepgsql_schema_post_create(), sepgsql_schema_post_create(), and
sepgsql_attribute_post_create() perform a catalog scan using
SnapshotSelf, while sepgsql_database_post_create() uses
get_database_oid(). You might want to adopt a similar technique.
