AFAIR there are no code restrictions based on OID value.  We've got
restrictions based on things being in pg_catalog or not, and we've got
restrictions based on things being marked pinned in pg_depend.

Looking at the OID range might be a reasonable proxy for pinned-ness,
though, and it would certainly be a lot cheaper than a lookup in
pg_depend.
