Yeah. I'm also a little disturbed by using "nspname" which is an
entirely internal name; plus it's a bit unclear *which* schema it's
supposed to be. (One might think it's the schema the trigger function
is in, for instance.) Somebody established a bad precedent by using
"relname" for the table name.

Maybe we should use field names like "table_name" and "table_schema".
"relname" could be kept around for awhile but deprecated as a duplicate
of "table_name".

Or if that seems too messy, keep "relname" but use "relschema" as the
new field.
