FWIW, pg_classy[1], which is still a work in progress, would allow for
that. The idea is that you define a code template which you can then
call with arguments (such as the name of a matview table), and those
arguments get put into the template before executing the resulting SQL.

Most of the basic framework for that is in place; I just need to finish
code that will allow for the extension to track arbitrary database
objects that were created.
