I'm running into some naming problems while doing so. Having
pg_table, pg_view etc. as views lets a users assume pg_index
would be one too where to get some information. But pg_index
already exists.

Should I name all of them pgv_... ?

Other databases have many views starting with DBA or SYS on
the other hand. For now I'll start naming them pgv_..., we
could rename them before applying the patch.
