table rename oddity

Hello,

Is this kind of behavior intended. When I try to rename a table to
a reserved word -  I have tried to use 'lseg' which is a type - postgres
gives me an error but the change has been partly done and the
only way back seems to be to go to the database directory and
rename the file. I have tested this with version 7.0.

Regards,

An example:

template1=> create table a (a int);
CREATE
template1=> alter table a rename to lseg;
ERROR:  TypeRename: type lseg already defined
template1=> \dt

Database    = template1
