Re: BUG #18407: ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA on foreign table with SERIAL column does not move sequence to new schema

Hmm ... that does seem fairly inconsistent.  It looks like the cause
is in AlterTableNamespaceInternal:

    /* Fix other dependent stuff */
    if (rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_RELATION ||
        rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW ||
        rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE)
    {
        AlterIndexNamespaces(classRel, rel, oldNspOid, nspOid, objsMoved);
        AlterSeqNamespaces(classRel, rel, oldNspOid, nspOid,
                           objsMoved, AccessExclusiveLock);
        AlterConstraintNamespaces(RelationGetRelid(rel), oldNspOid, nspOid,
                                  false, objsMoved);
    }

It's probably reasonable to have this relkind gating for 
AlterIndexNamespaces, although I'm not sure it saves much to
skip that, either.  But we can have sequences attached to
foreign tables, and I think maybe constraints as well.
Maybe it'd be best to just drop this relkind check altogether?
