Doh. Next function down.
I see there are routines doing similar things but for functions and others. I'm
right in saying that OID isn't unique in a database (necessarily) and so we
couldn't have a general object_is_visible(oid) function that did the appropiate
from the type of object refered to?
It just seems that if we're interested in showing tables according to
visibility then shouldn't we be doing the same for these other things?
