Okay but if I follow the convention the names of those fields would be
something like pubrelpubid and pubrelrelid which does not seem like
improvement to me. Maybe the catalog should be pg_publication_map then
as that would make it seem less ugly although less future proof (as
we'll want to add more things to publications than just tables and they
might need different catalogs).
