So what I was remembering was some text in the section about sequence
functions. That probably seemed appropriate when they were the only
real use of regclass; but these days we have regclass-accepting functions
all over, not to mention other OID alias types. I propose the attached
patch to move this info into the "Object Identifier Types" section.
