Hmm, have you any info regarding schema-aware postgresql doing 
counter-intuitive when not using dot-notation? 

The only thing I'm thinking about is splitting system relations and user 
relations between two schemas in 7.4, but even that should not be an issue as 
lookup method is (or at least seems) safe to this.

Any thoughts?
