Why? We already rename the table's rowtype, ergo you can fail a table
rename because there is a conflicting datatype name. I don't see
anything much wrong with failing a table or column rename because there
is a conflicting sequence name. The whole point here is to have a
non-surprising mapping between the names of serial columns and the names
of their associated sequences.
