These ones are old enough, indeed. Knowing that they usually come
down to be used with scans of pg_shdepend and pg_depend to get some
information about the objects involved, I've never come down to see if
these were really worth tackling. The cases of dropped/undefined
case is much more interesting, because we may give in input object IDs
that have been dropped concurrently. Class IDs are constants fixed in
time.

This one is fun. errcode_for_file_access() does not know about
ENAMETOOLONG, as an effect of the errno returned by AllocateFile().
Perhaps it should map to ERRCODE_NAME_TOO_LONG?

Hehe. You are telling that this operator supports a hash join, but
nope. I am not really convinced that this is worth worrying.

Hmm. This one feels like a bug, indeed.

ltree has little maintenance, not sure that's worth worrying.

The scope is too broad for some of them like the CTE case, so separate
threads to attract the correct review audience makes sense to me.
