Perhaps. We invent shared catalogs at a slow enough rate that I'm
not sure the effort would ever pay for itself in person-hours,
but maybe making such invention a trifle less error-prone is
worth something.

I'd still want to keep this form of DECLARE_TOAST, in case someone
comes up with a different reason to want macro names for toast OIDs.
