Nice! Has the patch been accepted and will be made available in future
versions of pg?

Also, why return NULL for pinned objects? They can also be described
using a unique identifier.
(+ /* for "pinned" items in pg_depend, return null */)

It is useful to describe such objects to be able to diff different
versions of pg, i.e. comparing which pinned objects exists, doing so
can tell you the odds for an application depending on certain pinned
objects being compatible with a specific version of the database.
