 I find having to specify "schema" and "tablename" as two separate
 arguments pretty annoying and error prone.

 Since we have the nice "regclass" type, I think it would make sense to
 provide overrides for AddGeometryColumn and AddTopoGeometryColumn that
 take it as a replacement for the schema/table pair.

 I consider this as a usability enhancement. Could be SQL only.
 Writing a ticket in case anyone is against this for any reason.
