We *really* need that catalog lookup first. Otherwise, we will never be
able to override the hardcoded compatibility assumptions in that
matching routine. Once we push that routine into a system catalog, we'll
have more flexibility to tune things after the fact.
Without the explicit function call, things would work just fine for the
example at hand, right?
I could put in a dummy passthrough routine. But that seems a bit ugly.
