That doesn´t seem logical to me: it´s also a problem for the same newbies to
restore their PostGIS databases.

It should be a default search_path, just like pg_catalog and public.
I dont need to set the search_path to use "select int2('25'::text)" either.
Or would that conflict with PostgreSQL policies?
