So, I add back the "sql_drop" event and implement it in dependency.c,
and keep the list for later processing from "ddl_command_end", right?

Robert, you specifically opposed to "sql_drop" and I just removed it
from the patch. What do you think now? Also, should that be a follow-up
patch to the current one for your reviewing purposes?

Well, can the list of objects that get dropped for CASCADE change in
between releases? If it ever does, that means that your event trigger
that used to work before is not broken after upgrade. Is that ok?
