Remember that this is still an alpha version. In the longer term I think
we should look at splitting it into two schemas, one with the views
themselves and another with the support functions and other implementation
details. (There are other ways to handle pg_tablespace too, that just
happened to be the convenient one for proof-of-concept testing.)
