I presume the reason for that is that the first paramater can be

select pg_get_serial_sequence('"public"."FOO"', 'Ff1');
Would someone explain why qualification makes us lowercase the first
parameter by default? I don't understand it well enough to document it.
The point is that we have to parse the first parameter, whereas the
second one can be taken literally.
It still looks inconsistent and ugly. I think the design mistake of pg_get_serial_sequence is that
it takes two parameters rather than one (a fully qualified doublequoted columnname path) or three
(optionally empty schema, tablename, columnname, all three literal).
