Peter may have been alluding to this, and I misunderstood, but one idea
might be to present a mangled name in the information schema; since the
spec expects them to be unique, perhaps the schema should present them as
unique. Downside is that named constraints would also have to be mangled. A
compromise would be to only mangle the '$n' constraints, and just prepend
'pg_<tablename>' to the constraint name in the view.
