That does nothing for external modules whose code isn't in PostgreSQL
control. I'm thinking of those examples I cited up-thread --- and some
more. (ip4r, temporal, prefix, hstore-new, oracfe, etc).

Could pg_migrator detect usage of "objects" oids (data types in
relation, index opclass, ...) that are unknown to be in the standard -
core + contrib distribution, and quit trying to upgrade the cluster in
this case, telling the user his database is not supported?

Note: added in-place upgrade to requirements of the first version of
the feature.
