    I'm  running into some naming problems while doing so. Having
    pg_table, pg_view etc. as views lets a users assume  pg_index
    would  be one too where to get some information. But pg_index
    already exists.

    Should I name all of them pgv_... ?

    Other databases have many views starting with DBA or  SYS  on
    the  other  hand.  For now I'll start naming them pgv_..., we
    could rename them before applying the patch.
