I'm skeptical about the idea of doing this too generally.
rhaas=> select * from foo;
ERROR: permission denied for relation foo
Do we really want to start saying public.foo in all such error
messages? To me, that's occasionally helpful but more often just
useless chatter.
One problem with making this behavior optional is that we'd then need
two separate translatable strings in every case, one saying "table %s
has problems" and the other saying "table %s.%s has problems". Maybe
we could avoid that via some clever trick, but that's how we're doing
it in some existing cases.
I have a feeling we're making a small patch with a narrow goal into a
giant patch for which everyone has a different goal.
