According to
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/200407110311.i6B3BBW24899%40candle.pha.pa.us
it already is ;-)

Personally though I'd narrow the scope to just consider pg_largeobject
(and maybe pg_largeobject_metadata). I see no use-case for moving other
catalogs out of the DB's default tablespace, and doing so would create a
large space of poorly-tested opportunities for failure.
