And yet I just did this:
create view mytables as select relname from pg_class where relam = 0 and relname not like 'pg_%';
And it seems to work fine.
Oh, now I remember. The deal was not views, it was triggers. Since our geometry_columns contains some information not available via a query on existing data, a trigger was what we wanted, so we could harvest the information from a variety of places, and have some spare columns for things like the geometry selectivity stats.

Uh, what makes you say it doesn't work?
