That's the first thing I tried.  But it's not pretty: you have to
extract schema names by splitting at a period (and what if a schema name
contains a period?), split out on ON for certain object types, figure
out parens and argument types and names for functions and aggregates,
etc.  It's just not sane to try to parse such text strings.

Good :-)
