Interesting, I always wondered how it did, but never tried to actually
look in the code.

I don't really understand. These do not come from pgAdmin, right?
because we don't filter pg_enum by oid. We sort by oid for pg_enum (and
there's no way to do otherwise before 9.1), but we don't filter by oid.
So this example should be working (once you're connected, which is your
main issue IIRC).
