####I expect to see something like:

 Schema | Name | Type  | Owner
--------+------+-------+-------
 public | foo  | table | robot
 t      | foo  | table | robot

test=> insert into foo values('zzzz');

INSERT 19868126 1

#### why it's not?
test=> insert into robot.foo values('xxxxx');
INSERT 19868173 1
test=> select * from foo;
 test
-------
 xxxxx

#### why schema t,robot behave different???
#### it seems if schema name is same as username then
#### it will shadow the objects in the public schema that have same name.
#### I haven't documentation address this yet.
