Some kind of forced value would be good, although I would prefer the
'CREATE DATABASE' code to set a value in a table somewhere to the last OID
used when the DB was created. This would deal with the 'extended template1'
scenario (which, incidentally, I am already a victim of). Could a new
attribute be added to pg_database?
