Hm. Evidently not :-(. The COMMENT ON DATABASE facility is a bit bogus
anyway (since there's no way to make the comments visible across
databases). You might be best advised not to use it.
Hackers: this seems like an extremely bad side-effect of what we thought
was a simple addition of a helpful check. I am thinking we should
either remove the check again, or downgrade it to a WARNING (though I'm
not quite sure how to phrase the warning ...). Any thoughts?
