I did a bit of git spelunking and the reason seems to be that back in
2002 when this was introduced not all relation ids were compile time
constants and thus an array was initialized once at bootup. I totally
agree with you that these days there's no reason for the array. So I
now added a second patch that removes this array, instead of updating
it to use the designated initializer syntax.
