[HACKERS] Cascade delete views?

[Philip Warner]

Doing the following:

    create table test (f1 int);
    create view v_test as select f1+1 as f11 from test;
    drop table test;

then selecting from the view results in:

    ERROR:  Relation 'test' does not exist

which is fine.

Then I try:

    create table test (f1 int);
    select * from v_test;

and I get:

    ERROR:  has_subclass: Relation 19417 not found

which not very helpful for the person who does not know the history, and
leads me to believe that there may be a few issues here. 

Should a 'DROP TABLE' drop the views, fail, or be recoverable from by
recreating the table?
