OK, Are you suggesting to add a "generic" comments such as "Generic
function to change the name of a given object, for simple cases ...",
not a list of OBJECT_* at the head of this function, aren't you?

The pain point is AlterObjectNamespace_internal is not invoked by
only ExecAlterObjectSchemaStmt(), but AlterObjectNamespace_oid()
also.
It is the reason why I had to put get_object_type() to find out OBJECT_*
from the supplied ObjectAddress, because this code path does not
available to pass down its ObjectType from the caller.
