I have a client who is looking for a way to be able to alter objects without having to recreate (say, from a dump) all the objects in a possibly large dependency tree rooted at the object. Of course, if the alteration invalidates the dependency, than this operation should fail, but adding a column to a view or table (which is our most common case) should arguably be a benign operation that shouldn't fail because of dependencies.

I couldn't see anything in the TODO list that seemed appropriate, in a quick scan.

I don't follow you. I can currently add a column, without breaking either foriegn keys or inheritance. What's the problem?
