Oh, thanks, it looks like this can be useful. We can get the common
grammar done and then rebase all the other patches (I was also just told
about support for sequences in [1]) on top.

Right. (As a List of String, I imagine.)

Yeah, I think it'd be cleaner if the node type has two members, something like
this
typedef struct PublicationObjSpec
{
NodeTag type;
PublicationObjSpecType pubobjtype; /* type of this publication object */
RangeVar *rv; /* if a table */
String *objname; /* if a schema */
int location; /* token location, or -1 if unknown */
} PublicationObjSpec;
and only one of them is set, the other is NULL, depending on the object type.
