Thanks!

With the patch, pg_class.relam column references to the pg_seqam table 
for sequences, but pg_indexam for indexes. I believe it's the first 
instance where we reuse a "foreign key" column like that. It's not a 
real foreign key, of course - that wouldn't work with a real foreign key 
at all - but it's a bit strange. That makes me a bit uncomfortable. How 
do others feel about that?
