Tom suggested using inheritance for this.
I find it strange to try constructing catalog tables to represent
these local definitions which never need to be read by any other
backend and in any case are 1:1 copies of the global catalog entries.
It seems to me simpler and more direct to just nail relcache
entries for these objects into memory and manipulate them directly.
They can be constructed from the global catalog tables and then
tweaked to point to the backend local temporary tables.
