Ok, I'll look into that.

The "is visible" functions are only used for the likes of psql, pg_dump,
query tree reversing, object descriptions -- nothing that is in a normal
query unless you explicitly call it.

The get_*_oid() functions are used mostly for DDL to find conflicting
objects. The text-search related ones can be invoked via some user
functions, if you specify a TS object other than the default one. I
will check into what the impact of that is.
