Fwiw my feeling was the opposite here. It's better to offer even
limited SQL-level support for features pg_migrator needs because the
more abstract and loosely coupled the interface is between pg_migrator
and the internals the better. Even if the interface is somewhat
limited and just good enough for pg_migrator's needs it's still easier
to support a well-defined abstract interface than one that depends on
knowing about the internal implementation.

I can see I'm outvoted here though and you and Bruce are the ones
writing the code so far...
