No, I didn't. We should definitely document new relkinds in the
pg_class docs, though.

What about amcheck? I did change the example query in the docs to
account for this, so anyone that generalizes from that won't have a
problem, but it would be nice if it had a friendlier message. I didn't
change amcheck to account for this myself because I thought it was
possible that somebody else would want to use a more general solution.
