I'm pretty unenthused by the idea of making OIDs more user-visible
than they already are.  If the message is ambiguous, we should include
argument types and (if not the object that would be visible under the
current search_path) a schema qualification.  Spitting out a five (or
six or seven or eight) digit number doesn't seem like a usability
improvement.
