I'm not quite sure if any commercial RDMBS does it. But since
we don't have the ability to create multiple tables/views of
the same name as long as the owner differs, I think it's
better to stay as we are. As long as PostgreSQL cannot
distinguish tables of the same name by a <user>.tablename
syntax, it's better to let them know what tables already
exist.
