So here is a patch for that. There are a few cases that break when hiding all variable length fields: Access to indclass in relcache.c, as discussed upthread, which should be fixed. Access to pg_largeobject.data. This is apparently OK, per comment in inv_api.c. Access to pg_proc.proargtypes in various places. This is clearly useful, so we'll keep it visible. So I think the relcache.c thing should be fixed and then this might be good to go.
