The idea is that SQL/MED will create objects known as foreign tables that
represent remote resources but work locally like a normal table. So in some
sense, SQL/MED already creates a local synonym-type thing for remote
resources anyway, so there is no need to create a separate synonym in the
Oracle sense on top of that.
