Hmm. That could work. I guess that you mean to do something like
that in SearchSysCacheCopy() when we build the tuple copy. There is
an access to the where the cacheId, meaning that we know the catalog
involved. Still, we would need a lookup at its pg_class entry to
check after a reltoastrelid, meaning an extra relation opened, which
would be fine under a specific #define, anyway..
