Is there a way to get names that are always qualified, irrespective of
the search_path? Once one has the oid, it's an easy function to write,
but I suspect this machinery already exists.

For example, I'd like the hypothetical cast:
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]> set search_path = 'unison';
        SET
        
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]> select 'pseq'::regclass::oid::FQregclass;
         regclass 
        ----------
         unison.pseq
        (1 row)
