Thanks. I'm not trying to be difficult.
After staring at this for quite a while longer, it seemed to me that
the logic for renaming a relation was similar enough to the logic for
changing a schema that the two calbacks could reasonably be combined
using a bit of conditional logic; and that, further, the same callback
could be used, with a small amount of additional modification, for
ALTER TABLE. Here's a patch to do that.
I also notice that cluster() - which doesn't have a callback - has
exactly the same needs as ReindexRelation() - which does. So that
case can certainly share code; though I'm not quite sure what to call
the shared callback, or which file to put it in.
