    I'm not quite sure if any commercial RDMBS does it. But since
    we don't have the ability to create multiple tables/views  of
    the  same  name  as  long  as the owner differs, I think it's
    better to stay as we  are.   As  long  as  PostgreSQL  cannot
    distinguish  tables  of  the  same name by a <user>.tablename
    syntax, it's better to let  them  know  what  tables  already
    exist.
