See the thread on the renaming in the archives.  In short, this is part
of Vadim's work on WAL -- the new naming makes certain things easier for

Utilities to relate the new names to the actual database/table names
_do_ need to be written, however.  The information exists in one of the
system catalogs now -- it just has to be made accessible.
