In general, yes, but before you do that... the patch you've pasted
below doesn't implement the behavior you've described above. Above,
you're describing removing a completion, but below, you're adding one.So I'm confused.

Two other points:
1. ALTER TABLE and ALTER FUNCTION both seem to have completions for
this already, so maybe the above should be made specific to whatever
other object type you're concerned about.
2. Attaching the diff makes it much easier to extract than embedding
it in the body of the email.
