Just something like

 * Most simple objects are covered by a generic function, the other
 * still need special processing.

Mainly I was surprised to see collation not supported here, but I didn't
take enough time to understand why that is the case. I will do that
later in the review process.

I should remember better about that as the use case is extensions…

If we really want to do that, I think I would only do that in
AlterObjectNamespace_oid and add an argument to
AlterObjectNamespace_internal, that you already have in
ExecAlterObjectSchemaStmt().

But really, what about just removing that part of your patch instead:

@@ -396,14 +614,23 @@ AlterObjectNamespace_internal(Relation rel, Oid objid, 
Oid nspOid)

-       if (nameCacheId >= 0 &&

ObjectIdGetDatum(nspOid)))

getObjectDescriptionOids(classId, objid),
-                                               get_namespace_name(nspOid))));
+       if (get_object_catcache_name(classId) >= 0)
+       {
+               ObjectAddress   address;
+
+               address.classId = classId;
+               address.objectId = objid;
+               address.objectSubId = 0;
+
+               objtype = get_object_type(&address);
+               check_duplicate_objectname(objtype, nspOid,
+                                                                  
NameStr(*DatumGetName(name)), NIL);
+       }

It would be much simpler to retain the old-style duplicate object check,
and compared to doing extra cache lookups, it'd still be much cleaner in
my view.
