hippopotamus and jay are complaining that this commit has introduced a
test with ordering issues:
ORDER BY relation::regclass::text;
relation | mode
--------------------------------+---------------------
- alter_idx_rename_test_2 | AccessExclusiveLock
alter_idx_rename_test_parted_2 | AccessExclusiveLock
