Another tweak that I have learnt to like is to apply a filter with
regexp_replace(), see 090_reindexdb.pl:
regexp_replace(b.indname::text, '(pg_toast.pg_toast_)\\d+(_index)', '\\1<oid>\\2')

If you make that part of the view definition, the result is the same,
so that's up to which solution one prefers.
