Yes, it's done and in CVS.  I think this is orthogonal to the other
proposals: whatever we want to do with OID, it's a useful feature to
be able to suppress them for tables that you're sure don't need one.

I thought the discussion had more or less concluded that separate-OID-
generator-per-table was the next step to take.  That won't get done in
time for 7.2, though.
