If we had any sort of convention about the encoding of identifiers stored
in shared catalogs, maybe we could do something about that. But we don't,
so any change is inevitably going to break someone's use-case.
In any case, that seems quite orthogonal to the question of how to treat
names with too many dots in them. Considering we are three days out from
freezing 14.1, I think it is time to stop the meandering discussion and
fix it. And by "fix", I mean revert to the pre-14 behavior.
