Would you also say that having a pg_tablespace_size(oid) has no benefit?

I took a look at similar functions, and the only pattern I could
identify is that all of them take an oid parameter.

pg_tablespace_size:       oid and name
pg_tablespace_location:   oid
has_tablespace_privilege: oid, name, and text
pg_tablespace_databases:  oid
...
pg_get_tablespace_ddl:    name

I'm definitely not opposed to having just a name parameter, but I
thought it would be worth mentioning.
