That's a good point.  An issue there would be the inconsistancy of the
checking, but, honestly, I'm on the fence about if that's really a bad
thing or not.  It would allow us to reload the data using regular
pg_dump syntax, etc, and still do the checking for applications which
are using the standard interfaces.

	Thanks!
