Sounds like you need a database-wide trigger on DDL. PostgreSQL has nothing
like that at the moment. Your best bet for now is to try and control it
at the application level. You could also run an external program (daemon or
even a cron job) that continually checks for such a violation and reports
it somewhere.

Allowing two tables with the same name to exist is a prime feature of schemas,
so working around that is not generally something that is done. :)
