Well, without a context that explains *why* you're doing that, it's hard
to consider what a better solution would look like.  Personally I
usually prefer solutions involving WHERE oid = 'foo.bar'::regclass,
because that scales easily to either providing or omitting the schema
reference.

If you're trying to avoid throwing an error on bad schema name,
a regschema type would not help you.
