Is there anything similar to pg_get_serial_sequence that will work with tables that have an inherited serial column? For example, if I have 2 tables:

create table base (
id    serial not null primary key
);

and

create table derived (
stuff    text,
constraint derived_pkey primary key(id)
) inherits (base);

I'd like to be able to call pg_get_serial_sequence passing "derived" for the table and "id" for the sequence column (to get, in this case "base_id_seq"). If nothing like this currently exists, any suggestions on how I could write a plpgsql function to get this behavior?

Thank you for any suggestions!
Tim
