Uh, not sure if we can say oid is only an internal catalog type. It is
certainly used for storing large object references.
pg_largeobject has oids. I don't thing the fact that we use oids to
store references to pg_largeobject should blind us to the fact that oid
should be an opaque type. Using them as substitute unsigned ints seems
like a horrible idea to me too.
