Huh? That seems like a really bad idea. Anything with names not starting
with pg_ really needs to not be in the search_path by default.

Speaking of which, any suggestions for names of internal-use objects?
Right now we've got some things named _pg_* to signify that they're
subject to change, but afaik the only naming convention PostgreSQL has
laid claim to is pg_*.
