My idea, which I tried hacking, but gave up was to do the following:

1. Extend this command:

ALTER SEQUENCE seqname RESTART WITH 17;

to allow:

ALTER SEQUENCE ON table(col) RESTART WITH 17...
or
ALTER SEQUENCE ON table.col RESTART WITH 17...

2. Overload nextval, curval and setval:

SELECT SETVAL('"schema.table"', 'col', 17, false);

3. Or even create a pg_get_sequence() function:

SELECT SETVAL(pg_get_sequence(schema.table, col), 17);

etc.
