BTW, the lazy man's way to deal with both of those issues is to cast
the OID to regclass, ie the best way to handle this is

SELECT
'ALTER TABLE ' || oid::regclass || ' SET WITHOUT OIDS;'
FROM pg_class WHERE ...

Observe the following example:

regression=# create schema s1 create table "Foo"(f1 int);
CREATE SCHEMA
regression=# select max(oid)::regclass from pg_class;
max
----------
s1."Foo"
(1 row)

You can similarly use regprocedure, regoperator, etc to get
safely qualified names for functions, operators etc.
