REL_13_STABLE appears to accept any amount of nonsense you like:

foo=# \d nonesuch.foo.a.b.c.d.bar.baz
                  Table "bar.baz"
 Column |  Type   | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
 i      | integer |           |          |


Is this something we're intentionally supporting?  There is no regression test covering this, else we'd have seen
breakagein the build-farm.
